Super Micro Computer's CEO Discusses FQ1 2012 Results - Earnings Conference Call

From a geographic productive perspective, the United States accounted for 62.1% of revenue and Asia was 15.8%. While both regions were lower quarter-over-quarter the European share rose to 18.8% last quarter as a strong September was offset by a generally slower summer period. Last quarter OEM and Direct customers accounted for over 44% of revenue and both groups continued to grow steadily. Internet Data Center reached 16.4% of total revenue in FQ1 as certain new products were deployed as the result of the higher OEM and Direct business.
