Review Worldwide Fibre Channel Switch 2005-2009 Forecast and 2004 Vendor Shares / IDC Research:This IDC study provides IDC's 2005 worldwide market analysis and forecast for a critical component in the market for network storage solutions, Fibre Channel (FC) switches. It forecasts port shipments as well as factory and market revenues for the sale of FC switches in four segments: chassis switches, 16- to 48-port fixed-port switches, entry-level switches, and blade serverembedded switches. This study discusses how future trends in volume and blade server shipments, the deployment of storage in small and medium-sized businesses, and competing technologies such as iSCSI will affect the competitive position of FC switch vendors. It also provides specific advice to these companies on how to best take advantage of the changing world of networked storage. "The next two years have the potential to be a time of solid revenue growth for FC switch suppliers as more companies move toward SAN-based storage architectures and begin to exploit bladed server architectures," said Richard Villars, vice president, Storage Systems, at IDC. "Much of that growth opportunity is at risk, however, if the FC community as a whole doesn't make significant headway in connecting the growing base of volume servers running Windows and Linux. ".

"The standardization of PTT solutions services is critical to its success," said Rosie Secchi, a senior research analyst at IDC's European Wireless and Mobile Communications Group. "The services launched are mostly pre-standardized or proprietary which means that PTT services on different networks might not be compatible with each other. Proprietary services and solutions can only work with a small portion of the market and only for the short term. " IDC believes that only when there is full interoperability of handsets and most of the networks will we see much greater uptake from mobile users.

Review Worldwide PC 2005-2009 Forecast Update: June 2005 / IDC Research:This IDC study presents an updated (1Q05 actual and annual forecast data up to 2009) look at the worldwide PC marketplace. It is valid as of May 2005 and provides forecast and growth figures for PC shipments at the worldwide level and for key regional markets. Details include unit, value, and average system price figures, including compound annual growth rates for the period 20052009. For comparison purposes, the tables in this document also include historical figures for 2002 to 2004. "The marketplace has seen solid performance over the past couple years, but recovery from the recession of 2001 and 2002 claims a key role in the rebound; market maturity is expected to reduce growth once the recovery phase is over. While this cyclical pattern remains a key component of our outlook, the consistent growth in recent quarters reflects ongoing demand and the potential for higher growth. This is evidenced not only by the strong first quarter results but also by the improved outlook in many regions that results from this growth and minor improvement in the market environment.

Review Western European IT Services Market 2004-2009 Forecast and Analysis / IDC Research:This IDC study answers the following questions: What are IDC's predictions and assumptions relating to market forces affecting the Western European IT services market, and what impact will they have on market forecasts? What is the size of the opportunity for providing IT services in Western Europe in 2005 and for the next four years, and which major areas are growing fastest? What are the key recommendations from IDC for maintaining and growing IT Services revenues in the coming years, and what are the issues that IP services providers will need to be aware of? "With overall growth expected to be about 3. 8% in 2005, IT services players are in for another tough year," says Martin Canning, VP, IDC European Services Research. "Differentiation undoubtedly will be the biggest challenge of IT services providers under current market conditions. Growth will stay relatively low throughout the forecast period and services firms must look beyond the "me-too" strategy of industry-aligned offerings. This strategy has had its best days, and can no longer be seen as a differentiating factor. To gain ground in a market that is barely growing, players must reexamine their means of differentiation. We believe that an increased focus on business processes and business models will be the characteristics that will define successful services businesses in the coming years".

Review Worldwide and U.S. IT Outsourcing Services 2005-2009 Forecast: An Industry in Need of a New Strategy / IDC Research:This IDC study provides worldwide and regional market forecasts for the IT outsourcing market. Additionally, this forecast provides in-depth analysis of the U. S. IT outsourcing market and market forces that are beginning to have some significant impact on growth for U. S. IT outsourcing. This document analyzes the impact of these trends and provides recommendations on how best to compete in the United States IT outsourcing space. The document answers the following questions: How will emerging models, such as utility computing, and business models, such as offshore, impact the opportunities for IT outsourcers? What are the key investments IT outsourcers and players looking to compete in the outsourcing market make to be successful? What are key industry trends in the outsourcing market, and how should IT outsourcers respond? "U. S. IT outsourcers are faced with a series of changing conditions that are impacting their ability to continue healthy sustained growth in the coming years. [+]These conditions include slowing growth in the U. S. market, increased customer use of discrete IT outsourcing, reduced average size of deals greater than $1 billion, and continued downward price pressures resulting from the use of easier-to-use and cheaper technologies offshore and newer forms of service delivery, such as utility computing and SaaS. Further, there is increased convergence of IT outsourcing and BPO as IT outsourcing appears to be a core element in providing more scalable and cost-effective business services. Finally, a new breed of players (not yet a competitive threat) could begin to impact the IT outsourcing space. Examples include Google, Yahoo!, eBay, Travelocity, and Amazon. com. Success for incumbent outsourcers will depend highly on how well they adjust to these changing requirements and potential threats," said David Tapper, director for IT Outsourcing, Utility, and Offshore Services research at IDC.
