Research and Markets: The AdvancedTCA Market Slowly Builds Momentum

Research and Markets (researchandmarkets.com/reports/c14870) has announced the addition of The AdvancedTCA Market Slowly Builds Momentum to their offering.

(PRWEB) April 4, 2005 -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c14870) has announced the addition of The AdvancedTCA Market Slowly Builds Momentum to their offering.

Open Standards Chassis (OSCs) are nothing new. They have been around since the mid 1980s. Standards such as VMEbus and CompactPCI have met with varying levels of success over the years. However, now with the advent of the AdvancedTCA, there is a renewed sense of interest in the potential for using standardized chassis in more places. Part of that enthusiasm has spurred splintering standards such as the CompactTCA and the MicroTCA. Plus, IBM has taken a page from the PICMG playbook and is working on making its BladeCenter an open standard. When you combine all of these various OSCs together, we find that they currently garner about 1.5% of the overall CapEx equipment market. However, this penetration rate can, and will improve. By 2009, the overall market will be over $12 billion, between all the various forms of OSCs.

In addition, this strong growth will help generate the volumes needed to bring economies of scale to the AdvancedTCA market, allowing it to penetrate other industries, such as Military, Medical/Industrial, and finally the coveted Enterprise market. All of these other markets will help the AdvancedTCA surpass its communications only revenue by an additional 47%.

This report has forecasts for each of the major types of OSCs in the communications markets, plus an extended forecast for the AdvancedTCA in all of its potential market places. The report contains a detailed technical overview, market overview and OSC forecasts.
