Description

This IDC study provides an overview of the worldwide workstation market. Included is a summary of historic performance at the worldwide level as well as a forecast for 2008?2012. This study considers the following questions:

How does the workstation market landscape look today? Where does the market opportunity lie, desktop workstation versus mobile workstations? Where are the price band sweet spots?

"The workstation market is viewed by many to be a mature segment with little opportunity for growth. Both HP and Dell have proved this to be a wrong assumption. New architectures, including quad core and on-the-horizon multicore, will help to drive even more growth for the few remaining vendors still in this space," said Lloyd Cohen, director of Worldwide Market Analysis. "The total available workstation market is expected to grow by close to 2 million additional units over the five-year forecast period. Workloads that were previously done on servers are expected to migrate to workstations because performance of a workstation increases with the use of additional cores as well as PC user migration to workstations for increased speed and graphic capability."
