Tue, 02 Mar 2010 00:00:00 ESThttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=222203http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=222203This IDC study provides an overview of M&A deals in the cloud computing industry in 2009 and the different business, financial, and technology trends affecting M&A activities. It also analyzes industry and market dynamics driving current and future acquisitions in the different cloud computing markets. "There is still a gap between cloud computing hype and reality, as actual deployments are still far from what one should expect considering current market noise. This gap is slowly being filled as major IT vendors are taking substantial steps to develop and/or acquire the missing pieces, especially in the areas of managing, governing, and securing cloud computing environments." — Dan Yachin, research director, IDC EMEA Emerging Technologies Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:00:00 ESThttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=222249http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=222249This IDC study provides an overview of IDC's definitions of the worldwide security services market.

In addition to the market analysis by major security service categories, the study also forecasts the market size from 2008 to 2013. "Despite weak growth in systems integration (SI) contracts due to the economic downturn, the security services market provided by Japan carriers was driven by the growth in security operation/monitoring services. Some of the effective solutions offered by carriers are a better lineup of cloud services targeting companies with budget and structural constraints, and the provision of consolidated log management service to meet the needs for appropriate log management from the perspective of internal control," says Akiko Kawakami, senior market analyst, Communications, IDC Japan.

It also analyzes industry and market dynamics driving current and future acquisitions in the different IT security markets. "As recession begins to fade, large IT vendors are regaining their appetite for M&As. Security is one of the IT markets where M&A activity is likely to pick up in 2010 and beyond. We believe that the large IT vendors will be shopping for security companies to fill in portfolio gaps, especially in areas such as cloud computing and mobile computing." — Dan Yachin, research director, IDC EMEA Emerging Technologies Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:00:00 EST
