Product Type: Market Research Report
Published by: In-Stat
Published: August 2000
Product Code: R97-411Description This report details the demand for NICs, hubs, and LAN switches in the U.S. business market, providing estimates for budgets/spending by size of business. The report leverages In-Stat excellence in both demand- and supply-side research to actually segment revenue contribution by size of business. This segmentation allows vendors to better understand the importance of each market for their core networking products and use the opportunity forecasts provided as a guide for which segments will emerge to be key growth opportunities.
Because of their differing levels of technological sophistication, each business segment shows different requirements and demand for core networking infrastructure. Markets with high concentrations of small offices (SOHO and small businesses, and some segments of the middle market) are quite likely to seek the least expensive solutions that offer the most accessibility or are optimized to enable services. In contrast, markets with growing demands for network intelligence, primarily firms with more than 500 employees, are seeking the most advanced solutions, namely high-end switches.
This report also provides channel analysis and discussion of key trends by size of business and product, in addition to key market segment demographics related to networking.
