M2 - Wed Jun 25, 8:10AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/h8vjrm/it_market_in) has announced the addition of the "IT Market in Canada 2014-2018" report to their offering. The IT Market in Canada can be segmented into three divisions: Hardware. Software and IT Services. The report also covers the IT spending across key end-user segments. The report also discusses the IT spending by the key regions in Canada. Many factors drive the growth of the IT market in Canada. One such driver is the increased government initiatives to support the IT market in the country. For instance, in Ottawa, most major government offices have adopted cloud computing solutions. Institutions in other parts of Canada are expected to follow suit. Canada lags behinds the US and other advanced markets in cloud computing. More SMBs are adopting cloud-based technologies compared to large companies, especially in the Government sector and Healthcare and BFSI industries because of the minimal IT personnel and infrastructure requirement. However, even though SMBs understand the long-term benefits of cloud computing, only a few have adopted it because of the high costs associated with shifting to cloud-based technology such as moving data to the cloud, network bandwidth costs, multiple vendor application integration costs, and software testing costs. Some benefits of cloud computing include increased flexibility of IT processes, economies of scale, accessibility to data anytime and anywhere, and low IT infrastructure spending.

Global Managed Security Services Market 2014-2018 with AT&T, Dell, IBM, Symantec & Verizon Communications Dominating
M2 - Tue Jun 24, 5:50AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c4gpxk/global_managed) has announced the addition of the "Global Managed Security Services Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Managed Security Services market will grow at a CAGR of 16.52% during the period 2013-2018. One of the major drivers is the need to improve the quality of protection. Because of the increase in the frequency of attacks, organizations are implementing managed security services that help in monitoring and providing better protection. The quality of protection can also be enhanced by outsourcing security responsibilities to MSSPs that have core expertise in this field. Hence, more end-users are adopting managed security services, a trend which is propelling the growth of the market. With the various advantages of adopting cloud services such as lower cost and ease of installation and operations, SMEs prefer cloud services to other security service offerings. Also, even large enterprises that are already using CPE-based managed security services are switching to the cloud model. Thus, seeing the increasing demand for and increased popularity of cloud-based offerings, many vendors in the Global Managed Security Services market are offering cloud-based services. For instance, specialized cloud service providers such as MessageLabs (part of Symantec), Postini (acquired by Google Inc.), and Zscaler provide in-the-cloud security. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges faced by the market is the high cost of implementation. Despite the potential benefits, certain organizations refrain from investing in managed security services because of the high costs associated with it. Also, there are certain hidden costs involved in the maintenance of managed security services. This will make end-users reluctant to adopt them, thus affecting the growth of the market. Key Vendors - AT&T Inc. - Dell Inc. - IBM Corp. - Symantec Corp - Verizon Communications Inc. Other Prominent Vendors - Bell Canada Inc. - BT Global Services Ltd. - CentraComm Communications Ltd - Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. - CGI Group Inc. - Computer Sciences Corporation - FishNet Consulting Inc. - Fujitsu Ltd. - Getronics USA Inc. - Hewlett-Packard Co. - Integralis AG - Lockheed Martin Corp. - Solutionary Inc. - Tata Communications Ltd. - Trustwave Holdings Inc. - VeriSign Inc. - Wipro Technology Services Ltd.

Singapore Data Center Market 2014-2018 with Avaya, Cisco Systems, Dell, EMC, Emerson Network Power, HP, IBM, Juniper Networks, NEC, NetApp, Rittal & Schneider Dominating
M2 - Tue Jun 24, 5:44AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4l75c5/data_center) has announced the addition of the "Data Center Market in Singapore 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Data Center market in Singapore will grow at a CAGR of 11.50% over the period 2013-2018. One of the major drivers is the rapid growth in digital content being transmitted across enterprise networks. Increasing digital content requires increased computational capacity and storage capacity. Energy efficiency and data center performance are gaining higher importance in the working of any data center facility. Those data center service providers and enterprises having their own data center facilities are facing various restrictions and regulations imposed by the regulatory authorities on maintaining minimum performance levels in the facilities. The data center facilities are being equipped with precision air conditioning equipment and high-performance computing equipment which consumes lower power and delivers high-performance computing. Many data center monitoring and management solutions are also being incorporated as part of the data center facility, which enables the network administrators to optimize the performance of the entire facility. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges is the high cost of labor that is affecting the operational costs associated with data center facilities. Singapore is a small nation and is currently experiencing very high labor costs. Further, the country is also experiencing a very high rate of inflation that is leading to higher expenditure on establishing and maintaining the facilities.

Global SME Big Data Market 2014-2018 with HP, IBM, Oracle & Teradata Dominating
M2 - Mon Jun 23, 5:35AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/js7nkg/global_sme_big) has announced the addition of the "Global SME Big Data Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global SME Big Data market will grow at a CAGR of 42.94 percent over the period 2013-2018. Big data solutions include a wide range of hardware, software, and services required for processing and analyzing structured and unstructured data that is too big for traditional data processing tools to manage. These data are generated by various sources such as mobile devices, digital repositories, and enterprise applications and range in size from terabytes (10^12 bytes) to petabytes (10^15 bytes) and even exabytes (10^18 bytes). Due to the considerably large size of big data, it is difficult for SMEs to manage and analyze the data using existing traditional data processing tools. Big data solutions are being used for a wide range of applications such as conversation analysis in social networking websites, fraud management in the BFSI sector, and disease diagnosis in the Healthcare sector. Due to the increasing need for big data solutions, the Global SME Big Data market is expected to witness rapid growth during the forecast period. Many large enterprise computing vendors frequently acquire companies to equip themselves with the latest big data technologies. Large enterprise software vendors also target pure-play big data vendors and small companies whose major customers are SMEs to expand their customer base and tap the huge potential in the SME segment. IBM acquired many analytics companies such as DemandTec Inc., Varicent Software, Tealeaf Technology Inc., Kenexa Corp., and Vivisimo Inc. in 2012.

Through acquisitions, large enterprise computing vendors are trying to enhance their capabilities to deliver a comprehensive big data solution. According to the report, the need to improve business process efficiency and productivity is one of the factors driving the growth of the Global SME Big Data market. Big data solutions improve the efficiency of business processes and provide up-to-date information, and shorten the decision making process. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges is the lack of awareness about the capability of big data technology. SMEs are often ignorant of the benefits of big data solutions and do not invest in them. Key Vendors - Hewlett-Packard Co. - IBM Corp. - Oracle Corp. - Teradata Corp.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4l75c5/data_center) has announced the addition of the "Data Center Market in Singapore 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Data Center market in Singapore will grow at a CAGR of 11.50% over the period 2013-2018. One of the major drivers is the rapid growth in digital content being transmitted across enterprise networks. Increasing digital content requires increased computational capacity and storage capacity. Energy efficiency and data center performance are gaining higher importance in the working of any data center facility. Those data center service providers and enterprises having their own data center facilities are facing various restrictions and regulations imposed by the regulatory authorities on maintaining minimum performance levels in the facilities. The data center facilities are being equipped with precision air conditioning equipment and high-performance computing equipment which consumes lower power and delivers high-performance computing. Many data center monitoring and management solutions are also being incorporated as part of the data center facility, which enables the network administrators to optimize the performance of the entire facility. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges is the high cost of labor that is affecting the operational costs associated with data center facilities. Singapore is a small nation and is currently experiencing very high labor costs. Further, the country is also experiencing a very high rate of inflation that is leading to higher expenditure on establishing and maintaining the facilities.

Global SME Big Data Market 2014-2018 with HP, IBM, Oracle & Teradata Dominating
M2 - Mon Jun 23, 5:35AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/js7nkg/global_sme_big) has announced the addition of the "Global SME Big Data Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global SME Big Data market will grow at a CAGR of 42.94 percent over the period 2013-2018. Big data solutions include a wide range of hardware, software, and services required for processing and analyzing structured and unstructured data that is too big for traditional data processing tools to manage. These data are generated by various sources such as mobile devices, digital repositories, and enterprise applications and range in size from terabytes (10^12 bytes) to petabytes (10^15 bytes) and even exabytes (10^18 bytes). Due to the considerably large size of big data, it is difficult for SMEs to manage and analyze the data using existing traditional data processing tools. Big data solutions are being used for a wide range of applications such as conversation analysis in social networking websites, fraud management in the BFSI sector, and disease diagnosis in the Healthcare sector. Due to the increasing need for big data solutions, the Global SME Big Data market is expected to witness rapid growth during the forecast period. Many large enterprise computing vendors frequently acquire companies to equip themselves with the latest big data technologies. Large enterprise software vendors also target pure-play big data vendors and small companies whose major customers are SMEs to expand their customer base and tap the huge potential in the SME segment. IBM acquired many analytics companies such as DemandTec Inc., Varicent Software, Tealeaf Technology Inc., Kenexa Corp., and Vivisimo Inc. in 2012. In 2013, it acquired several more big data analytic companies such as StoredIQ Inc., Star Analytics Inc., and The Now Factory. In 2011, Hewlett-Packard acquired the major pure-play vendor Vertica for US$350 million and EMC acquired Greenplum Inc. Also, Aster Data Systems Inc. was acquired by Teradata Corp. in 2011, Oracle Corp. acquired Datanomic Ltd., Endeca Technologies Inc., ClearTrail Technologies Pvt Ltd., and DataRaker Inc. Through acquisitions, large enterprise computing vendors are trying to enhance their capabilities to deliver a comprehensive big data solution. According to the report, the need to improve business process efficiency and productivity is one of the factors driving the growth of the Global SME Big Data market. Big data solutions improve the efficiency of business processes and provide up-to-date information, and shorten the decision making process. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges is the lack of awareness about the capability of big data technology. SMEs are often ignorant of the benefits of big data solutions and do not invest in them. Key Vendors - Hewlett-Packard Co. - IBM Corp. - Oracle Corp. - Teradata Corp. Other Prominent Vendors - Amazon Web Services, Inc. - Cloudera, Inc. - Couchbase Inc. - EMC Corp. - Google Inc. - Microsoft Corp. - SAP AG - Splunk Inc.
