Worldwide Integrated Infrastructure and Platforms Revenue Increases 38.5% Year Over Year in the First Quarter of 2014, Surpassing $1.9 Billion in Value, According to IDC
FRAMINGHAM, Mass. --(Business Wire)--
According to the International Data Corporation (IDC)
Worldwide
Quarterly Integrated Infrastructure and Platforms Tracker, the
worldwide integrated infrastructure and platforms market increased
revenue 38.5% year over year to $1.95 billion during the first quarter
of 2014 (1Q14). The market generated 653.8 petabytes of new storage
capacity shipments during the quarter, which was up 72.3% compared to
the same period a year ago.
"As the market moves to the 3rd Platform, IT customers are seeking to
leverage cloud, social, mobile, and big data in their businesses.
Transforming an IT environment requires a new approach to systems," said Jed
Scaramella, Research Director, Enterprise
Servers. "Many customers see the convergence of server, storage, and
networking in Integrated Systems as a means to deliver IT efficiency and
agility. IDC (News - Alert) expects to see more workload-optimized systems come to
market in the near term."
"Once again we witnessed an increasing number of organizations around
the world leveraging integrated systems to address longstanding
datacenter infrastructure inefficiencies," said Eric
Sheppard, Research Director, Storage.
"As such, this market remains one of the fastest growing segments of the
overall infrastructure market."
Integrated Platforms vs. Integrated Infrastructure
IDC distinguishes between two market segments: Integrated Platforms and
Integrated Infrastructure. Integrated Platforms are integrated systems
that are sold with additional pre-integrated packaged software and
customized system engineering optimized to enable such functions as
application development software, databases, testing, and integration
tools. Integrated Infrastructure systems are designed for general
purpose, distributed workloads that are likely to have differing
performance profiles. While integrated infrastructure is similar to
integrated platforms in that it will leverage the same infrastructure
building blocks, it is not optimized for a specific workload.
During the first quarter of 2014, the Integrated Platforms market
generated revenues of $769.6 million, which represented an 8.3%
year-over-year growth rate and 39.5% of the total market value. Oracle (News - Alert)
was the largest supplier of Integrated Platform systems with $369.0
million in sales, or 48.0% share of the market segment.
