Internet Research Group Publishes Research Study of
The Branch Office Information Technology Market
Los Altos, CA
,
February 1, 2008
– Internet Research Group (IRG) today announced the release of its
updated report on the branch office market “The 2008 Branch Office IT
Market Landscape Report.”
“Branch offices are an
important part of an organization’s IT infrastructure because that’s where
corporate America meets its customers,” noted John Katsaros, co-founder of
IRG. “Meeting the needs of branch office users is not easy as enterprises
rely more heavily than before on their networking and computing
infrastructures and realize that application performance at the branch is
important. Enterprises need to assure excellent application service to the
branch office while at the same time simplifying and cost-reducing IT.”
“The 2008 Branch Office IT
Market Landscape Report,” describes US branch office distribution. The
focus on this study is the identification of the market segments that
operate the majority of the branch offices in the US and the overall IT
spending motivations across these market segments.
This evolving category of
products and services—what IRG calls the Branch Office Subsystems Market—is
one of the most lucrative future IT infrastructure markets. Companies like
Akamai, Cisco, Citrix, Expand Networks, Juniper, Packeteer, Riverbed,
STRATACACHE provide networking infrastructure and connectivity for improving
branch office operations. There are approximately 6 million businesses in
the US employing 116 million people at 7.5 million locations. This
translates to roughly 1.5 million remote offices, mostly operated by large
companies.
