Description

This IDC study examines the current and intended use of managed server services among large and medium-sized companies in Canada based on the responses of senior IT employees. There are relatively healthy expectations for growth in managed server services in Canada.

"Servers occupy an important niche in most corporate settings, situated between end users (providing the applications used on a daily basis) and the network infrastructure (the application and network services distribution mechanism). Vendors of managed server services will have to balance the needs of managing the server infrastructure as well as the broader network infrastructure in order to address the concerns of prospective buyers," says Jim Westcott, research manager, Business Services.
