Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:00:00 ESThttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=222355http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=222355This IDC study updates the worldwide forecast for adoption of home networks, forecasting the number of households with home networks and breaking out home networks by application type, including PC home networks, multimedia home networks, and entertainment home networks. This study also includes forecasts of unit shipments of wireless home routers in each region, as well as the growth of the installed base of wireless home networks, broken down by wireless protocol. "With a slow recovery from the global recession likely, consumer spending will be tight and broadband service providers will be cautious in spending on promotions for residential gateways, dampening the market for home networking infrastructure. But even as the market slows, the overall direction for home network devices and infrastructure remains positive, spurred by networked entertainment applications and improved home networking technologies," says Jonathan Gaw, research manager of IDC's Connected Home program. Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:00:00 ESThttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=222109http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=222109This IDC study provides IDC's top 10 predictions for security products in 2010. Security products markets include endpoint, messaging, network, Web, security and vulnerability management (SVM), and identity and access management (IAM). All security products run on the following platforms: software, hardware, software as a services (SaaS), and virtualization. The research also focused on corporate and consumer customers. In 2010, we will continue to see prevailing trends (movement from software to appliances and decay of market/products to feature in both security and nonsecurity IT products). As noted in the trends discussed in the top 10 predictions, however, we are also seeing considerable movement from security software to SaaS, especially for messaging and Web security. As for hardware appliances, we are seeing very early indication of movement from hardware appliances to virtualized platforms. We expect to see significant acceleration in this trend at the enterprise level, especially in companies where server consolidation is already a major initiative. From this document's predictions, IDC's security products research team believes key market drivers in 2010 will focus on the interrelated issue technologies of SaaS, cloud, virtualization, and mobile. "Customers demand flexible security platforms to meet rising challenges from threats, budgets, and regulations," said Christian Christiansen, program vice president, Security Products and Services at IDC. "In 2010, customers' key challenge will be reconciling flexible security solutions against the risk of too many security choices."

The key focus of the Industry Analyst Forum was for Ericsson to share its vision and strategies around mobility, and in particular, mobile broadband (MBB), with an interesting focus on the world's largest market, China. The demand for broadband is growing around the world; however, in densely populated and rapidly developing markets such as China and India, fixed broadband penetration is still very low. With Asia/Pacific providing the largest growth opportunities for mobility in the world, Ericsson has a firm commitment to MBB, with a variety of solutions on offer for mobile operators, enabling the desired mix of performance and affordability.
