Announcing a New 451 Special Report from
Herding Cats: managing distributed applications
No one has really begun to evaluate the competitive landscape or potential in the fragmented market for managing distributed applications. Over the past few months, a new breed of software and application management startups has emerged to target this market. Meanwhile, more established players are shifting their strategies and extending existing software technologies. The451 defines and segments this market, providing analysis of the main companies and leading startups, and offers SWOT analysis and market sizing for each segment. The report provides actionable conclusions for companies, from whichever part of the value chain, to be winners in this market.
Why does this market have such potential? Widely distributed computer systems are hard to manage and run efficiently. Even gathering information about the resources available can be difficult. And the problem will only get worse as systems, storage and networking technologies are consolidated, and even software - in the form of Web services - is broken into geographically dispersed components. Users need active and dynamic tools to ease the management burden. Such tools must automatically carry out tasks like device discovery, load balancing, provisioning, resource management and self healing.
The451 is pleased to announce the publication of an extensive new report on managing distributed applications. The report provides a comprehensive view of the market and its future direction, including strategic assessments of competitors - the major players, new market entrants, a group of players to watch, and the future market development.
This report breaks the market down into four key segments (see chart) and assesses the future direction of each segment, including likely M&A activity. There are assessments of the wider technology trends plus over 40 detailed company analyses. The report provides clear recommendations for companies providing hardware, systems management, software and services, as well as for CIOs and investors.
The451 assesses the impact of standards such as SNMP and RMON, and the efforts of standards bodies such as the Global Grid Forum. Key issues are evaluated, including the likely acquisition strategy of major vendors like HP, CA and Tivoli, the evolution of hardware and networking infrastructure and the future impact of grid computing.
