Review Competitive Analysis and Profiling of New Zealand Internet Service Providers, 2005 / IDC Research:This IDC study provides a competitive analysis and profile of participants in the New Zealand ISP ecosystem, outlining the nature of key interrelationships, the impact of significant industry developments and the capabilities and strategic direction of each participant. It also assesses the opportunities presented to entrants on the back of the wholesale provisioning of Unbundled Bitstream Service (UBS) by Telecom including new broadband-enabled services such as VoIP and content and entertainment provisioning. The implications of competitive interplay brought about by the growth of fixed wireless access (FWA), nomadic and roaming wireless broadband services is also considered. An outline of each service provider's position and service strategy is provided along with an IDC capability assessment. "Although UBS is an important component of regulation for telco market participants, the limited bandwidth classes and upstream speed available, the high-latency non-QoS service characteristics, and the commercial terms of the service, limit the opportunity for service providers and places new pressures on the industry. These pressures are made worse by the growing impact of wireless broadband providers. Consequently, IDC is seeing a considerable amount of loss leading occurring in UBS broadband provisioning from a number of ISPs. The loss leader strategy reflects the fact that a stuttering landgrab is occurring under financially challenging conditions in an environment with limited tactical options for ISPs. As part of this issue, the attrition rate for tier 3 ISPs in New Zealand is anticipated to be significant. The industry in the process of another shakedown," says Christopher Loh, senior analyst, Telecommunications, IDC New Zealand.

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. ".

Review Canadian Systems Infrastructure Software 2005 - 2009 Forecast / IDC Research:The Systems Infrastructure Software (SIS) market grew 5. 2% in 2004, to reach $1. 72 billion, a return to robust growth after a flat 2003, and placing the market on track for growth throughout the forecast period. IDC Canada forecasts the SIS market will grow in revenue to reach $2. 18 billion in 2009, a 4. 9% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period 2005 through 2009. Highlights for the SIS market include: Security leads growth in SIS, expected to climb close to C$280 million by 2009 from its current base of C$174 million. This growth is largely driven by the need to fight the proliferation of viruses and spam, and the need for identity and access management. The growth in low-end server and storage hardware in horizontally scaled-out architectures will drive storage and server management software forward throughout the forecast period. Open-source software will continue to enter organizations at the operating system level through Linux (and OpenSolaris) and through one-off tools in all other markets including security and server management. [+]
This will have a slight downward pricing pressure on the market as a whole. "Despite downward pricing pressure from factors such as vendor consolidation, bundling, and open-source, the SIS market is expected to grow by 4. 9% 2005 2009, to surpass $2 billion towards the end of the forecast period," says David Senf, Manager, Software Research.

Review Worldwide Smart Handheld Device 2005-2009 Forecast and Analysis: Passing the Torch / IDC Research:This IDC study is an update to Worldwide Smart Handheld Device 20042008 Forecast Update: The Shift Toward Converged Devices (IDC #32618, December 2004). This document delivers 2004 actual shipments and vendor market share comparisons for 2003 and 2004 and updates the long-range forecast through 2009. In the history of the smart handheld devices market, 2004 marked the first time that worldwide shipments of converged mobile devices surpassed those of handheld devices. Despite a slight rise in quarterly shipments in the fourth quarter of the year due to holiday seasonality, the worldwide handheld device market experienced its third straight year of decline, while the converged mobile device market surged past its previous shipment level in 2003. The year 2004 also marked the first time since 1999 that annual device shipment levels slipped below 10 million units. The decline of the handheld device market further underscores the increasing difficulty and search for relevance that handheld device vendors are facing in today's marketplace. With top vendors Sony and Toshiba leaving the market and competition from converged mobile device vendors continuing to increase, the remaining handheld device manufacturers face significant pressure to evolve their devices into new market segments. "Although the potential for a return to growth in the handheld device market remains, stiff competition from converged mobile devices and increasingly saturated markets have significantly increased the barriers to growth for handheld device vendors. As a result, converged mobile devices grew to comprise the majority share of shipments in the smart handheld devices market during 2004. " David Linsalata, research analyst, Mobile Devices.
