Research and Markets: Trends in Telecommunications Economic Climate Favor Open Systems and High Availability Middleware

Posted on: Wednesday, 17 August 2005, 12:00 CDT

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c22797) has announced the addition of High Availability, High Reliability Telecommunications Middleware Market Opportunities, Strategies, and Forecasts, 2005 to 2011 to their offering.

Several trends are developing within the telecommunications economic climate. Emerging from the economic downturn, telecommunications companies are finding themselves without the internal resources or expertise to pursue internal development and are increasingly outsourcing the hardware, OS, and middleware for new projects.

Almost every large telecommunications manufacturer has launched common platform projects to leverage common hardware and middleware across multiple projects. These depend on middleware to achieve open systems capability.

Adoption of standards has brought Linux, AdvancedTCA (ATCA), and the Service Availability Forum specifications to telecommunications markets. There are converged types of information being communicated on the networks. Voice, video, and data are being carried on one network.

High availability high reliability telecommunications middleware capability is accelerating. A new middleware category of products is forming that encompasses software such as high availability, messaging, database and systems management. This middleware market closely parallels the operating system market ten to fifteen years ago. Today, no developer advocates design and development of his or her own, in-house proprietary OS; similarly, management is asking why their staff is writing proprietary middleware code when commercial alternatives are available.

Companies mentioned in the report include:

-- Clovis Solutions

-- Hughes Networks

-- Hewlett-Packard

-- IBM

-- Augmentix

-- Concurrent Computer

-- Continuous Computing

-- DIRECTV Group
