In a research report released this week, analyst firm IDC identified
Opsware Inc. (NASDAQ:OPSW) as the market share leader and the fastest
growing vendor in the worldwide network change and configuration
management (NCCM) market for the period 2005-2006. Opsware took
the top spot with 31.4 percent of market share in 2006, more than 10
share points ahead of the closest competitor, according to IDC’s
Worldwide Network Change and Configuration Management 2007-2011 Forecast
and Analysis (1). In addition, Opsware’s 612.5
percent revenue increase in this market was more than 12 times the rate
of the next fastest grower among the top five vendors who make up more
than 85 percent of the market.
According to IDC, network change and configuration management is an
increasingly important market solution. The increasing size and
complexity of networks are driving rapid growth and broad market demand
for network change and configuration products.
“The growth and complexity of network
infrastructures is forcing IT departments to move away from manual
methods of configuration and seek standardized solutions to automate and
perform network discovery, change and configuration tasks,”
according to Tracy Corbo, senior analyst for IDC’s
Network and Service Management research practice. “As
the size and complexity of the enterprise network grows, IDC believes
that the enterprise demand for NCCM products will continue to grow.”
“The latest analysis from IDC shows that
Opsware is by far both the market share leader and the fastest growing
provider of network change and configuration management software,”
said Ben Horowitz, president and CEO of Opsware Inc. “This
is a clear indication of the tremendous ROI that customers are receiving
from implementing Opsware’s Network
Automation System.”
