The data and analysis presented here aim to provide insights on the key vendors in the European SNMS market.IDC believes we will continue to see vendor consolidation in the SNMS market as the large vendors continue to acquire small innovative vendors to expand their portfolios and capabilities. At the same time, we are also seeing new vendors enter the market providing innovative solutions aimed at specific management challenges and nontraditional IT management vendors moving into the SNMS market through acquisitions."The evolving market developments and requirements to manage new technologies and IT models will put growing pressure on SNMS vendors to continue to evolve their offerings and IDC expects that competition will be fierce going forward. Ultimately, customers will be the ones benefiting from the increasing competitive pressure and maturity of SNMS solutions," said Patrik Bihammar, research manager, IDC Infrastructure Software, Europe.

It also discusses the job scheduling and server and workload automation submarkets that make up the total market. IBM is the total market leader, while Hitachi leads the job scheduling submarket, and VMware is ranked first in the server and workload automation submarket.The server and workload automation submarket grew 18.2% between 2008 and 2009. "Despite a down economy, the rapid growth of virtualization and aggressive plans for private and hybrid cloud architectures are driving demand for these advanced tools," explains Mary Johnston Turner, research director, Enterprise System Management Software.

"We see customers struggling with virtual server sprawl as the size of their virtual environments exceeds that of their physical environments," explains Michelle Bailey, IDC research vice president for Enterprise Platforms and Datacenter Trends. "The survey indicates most organizations have a long way to go before they can claim to be operating virtualized environments in a highly efficient manner," adds Mary Johnston Turner, IDC research director, System Management Software.
