Abstract
This IDC Canada study analyzes the performance of major server and storage
hardware vendors in 2006. Key announcements, product mix, and relative market
share for each of the major vendors are covered. The Canadian server and
storage market continues to be shaped by both long-term and emerging trends
that vendors must respond to in order to succeed in the market. This study
analyzes these key trends and gives some advice to vendors on possible
implications and suggested actions to take advantage of the ensuing
opportunities.
"To succeed in this market, vendors need to not only address specific needs of
different customers by offering the right product to the right customer, but
also combine that with the appropriate go-to-market strategy that will align
with the requirements of the target segment," said Jason Bremner, director of
infrastructure hardware research at IDC Canada.
