Description

This IDC study reviews and analyzes the market for enterprise systems, servers, and workstations in South Africa for 2006, with data provided according to vendor, processor technology, and operating system. The data is further divided into 10 price bands. The study also provides detailed forecasts of market size through 2011.

"Small and medium-sized businesses in South Africa sought entry-level servers last year, as these machines meet their cost, performance, and business needs. Vendors will look to increase their share of the emerging SME segment but must be careful to not lose focus on large institutions, their traditional server clients in the country." ? Hein Greyling, Research Analyst, IDC South Africa
