and event automation tools.
IDC ranked IBM as the top vendor overall,
and also ranked IBM as the leader in both
sub-categories: performance management
software and event automation software.
"Retaining the number one market share
position in the management software
market demonstrates that IBM's
management strategy and tools are
resonating with our customers and are
essential for their businesses," said Bob
Madey, Vice President, IBM Tivoli strategy
and market management. "We believe
our continued ranking as the number one
performance and availability management
software vendor is proof that we are
delivering the technology innovation and
end-to-end management solutions and
services that our customers need."
According to IDC's report, in 2004 total
worldwide performance and availability
software revenue for all vendors combined
was $3.9 billion in 2004, a strong 9.3%
increase over 2003.
The IDC report analyzing the worldwide
market for performance and availability
software is based on the IDC 2005
Software Market Forcaster (SMF)
Database, which covers over 85 functional
software markets worldwide by multiple
operating environment and many
geographic dimensions. The definition of
software revenue, as well as the survey
methodology and the operating-
environment/regional modeling
assumptions underlying these rankings
are detailed in the report.
