The traditional data center is a combination of server, storage, and network products from a variety of vendors that have been pieced together over the years. Therefore, the data center of a company generally uses several different generations of Dell, IBM, and HP servers; brocade switches; and perhaps NetApp and HP storage subsystems. The advantage of such a diverse environment is that IT decision makers can select the best equipment that is cost effective and best suited to the application and computing workloads in use. However, traditional data centers lag behind, mainly because they are heterogeneous in nature. These data centers usually struggle with system management wherein some systems offer significant granularity for management but not other systems. In this report, the market has been segmented to understand and estimate the market opportunity across components, services, architecture types, end users, industries, and business verticals. Scope of the Report Components - Server - Networking - Storage - Infrastructure Software - Support Infrastructure Services - Installation & Integration - Consulting & Professional - Maintenance & Support Architecture Type End Users - Enterprises - Cloud Service Providers - Collocation Service Providers Companies Mentioned - Cisco - Dell Inc. - EMC - Fujitsu - Hewlett-Packard - Hitachi Ltd. - Huawei - IBM - Netapp - Oracle For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/t8w63q/converged

The middleware market in Middle East is expected to grow from $657.5 million in 2014 to $1028.2 million in 2019 The middleware market in this report is defined as the software that provides services and interoperability to various IT systems, high end computing components, and A2A integration on same or distributed business systems beyond operating systems. The middleware market is segmented into product types, company size, deployment types, verticals, and regions. The middleware market is rapidly growing with a major contribution from hybrid platform deployments. These solutions provide level playing fields across various verticals such as BFSI, business services, IT and telecom, manufacturing, retail and wholesale, healthcare, government, and other verticals. The middleware market is split into four segments on the basis of company size (i.e. small businesses, medium businesses, enterprises and large enterprises). Enterprises will comprise the highest market share. However, the revenue from small businesses is expected to witness the highest growth rate as a result of the decreasing cost of cloud-based deployments and advancements in technology to cater to the needs of smaller organizations. The Y-o-Y growth rates of hybrid deployments are expected to be the highest throughout the forecast period, the major reason being that the cost of implementing a cloud-based deployment is still quite high and complex. Thus, most organizations prefer to have a hybrid deployment to cut down on complexities and at the same time utilize the benefits of hosted deployments to the fullest.
