Gulf States Enterprise Servers: Technology Markets 2006-2010 Forecast and 2005

Gulf States Enterprise Servers: Technology Markets 2006-2010 Forecast and 2005 Vendor Shares

Product Type: Market Research Report
Published by: IDC
Published: September 2006
Product Code: R104-36349

Description

This IDC study reviews and analyzes the market for systems, servers, and workstations in the Gulf States (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait) for 2005, 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 2010.

"With the exception of Oman, all Gulf States enterprise servers grew in 2005. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were the two largest markets in terms of customer revenue, with Kuwait and Qatar the top markets among the smaller Gulf countries. Expansion in server sales last year was driven by traditional customers in the public, banking and oil & gas sectors." - Roshana Rehan, Research Analyst, IDC Middle East
