In a research report released this week, analyst firm IDC
identified Opsware Inc. (NASDAQ:OPSW) as the market share leader
and the fastest growing vendor in the worldwide network change and
configuration management (NCCM) market for the period 2005-2006.
Opsware took the top spot with 31.4 percent of market share in
2006, more than 10 share points ahead of the closest competitor,
according to IDC�s Worldwide Network Change and Configuration
Management 2007-2011 Forecast and Analysis (1). In addition,
Opsware�s 612.5 percent revenue increase in this market was more
than 12 times the rate of the next fastest grower among the top
five vendors who make up more than 85 percent of the market.
According to IDC, network change and configuration management is an
increasingly important market solution. The increasing size and
complexity of networks are driving rapid growth and broad market
demand for network change and configuration products. �The growth
and complexity of network infrastructures is forcing IT departments
to move away from manual methods of configuration and seek
standardized solutions to automate and perform network discovery,
change and configuration tasks,� according to Tracy Corbo, senior
analyst for IDC�s Network and Service Management research practice.
�As the size and complexity of the enterprise network grows, IDC
believes that the enterprise demand for NCCM products will continue
to grow.� �The latest analysis from IDC shows that Opsware is by
far both the market share leader and the fastest growing provider
of network change and configuration management software,� said Ben
Horowitz, president and CEO of Opsware Inc. �This is a clear
indication of the tremendous ROI that customers are receiving from
implementing Opsware�s Network Automation System.� Used by IT
