Abstract
This IDC study examines the market conditions and the opportunity for the home
media server market. The taxonomy is used by IDC analysts to generate market
sizings, forecasts, and company models.
"As the digital home ecosystem matures, multiple players have aimed to capture
a central role in the networked home, each introducing some variation of home
media servers, which are devices that are capable of storing and streaming
content in the home and allow for remote access to the digital content. Form
factors and channels will play key roles in influencing the devices that will
allow consumers to acquire, manage, and consume their digital content," said
Jonathan Gaw, research manager for IDC' s Consumer Markets: Home Networking
program.
