SOA Infrastructure Market in Communications Industry 2008-2012DescriptionDescription:
30 June 2009, Pages-13
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an architectural approach that enables IT to integrate, interoperate, and manage software, data, and processes across all types of applications. Resources in an SOA environment are made available as independent services that can be accessed without the knowledge of underlying platform implementation. With this approach, new applications can be built from existing functionality to support the requirements of software users, and services can be assembled and reassembled quickly to create new applications to meet business needs.
Communication Service Providers (CSPs) today are facing several challenges such as increasing competition from Internet service providers, proliferation of convergent services and increased costs due duplication of application silos and other resources. In addition, increasing customer demand for new flexible services, regulatory compliance and the need for increased security is driving telecom organizations to adopt SOA to enable faster creation of new services without sacrificing the uptime of the underlying network. Further, CSPs are beginning to adopt SOA infrastructure to introduce IT governance with their IT environment and enable sharing of underlying applications and resources as ‘services’ with other service providers, and hence reduce costs and the time-to-market new services.
The report forecasts the size of SOA Infrastructure Market in Communications Industry over the period 2008-2012. It segments the market by SOA sub-segments technologies and into various geographic regions. Further, it discusses the key market trends, drivers and challenges of this market in the Communications Industry

Global Security Hardware Market 2008-2012DescriptionDescription:
18 June 2009, Pages-15,
Security hardware provides security of IT assets. It mainly includes firewall equipment, VPN appliances, authentication devices, Intrusion Prevention and Detection (IPD) system, Unified Threat Management (UTM) devices, and secure content management hardware. Due to financial turmoil and recession, several companies have reduced their IT expenditure and budget. However, the security hardware market has not been affected as various companies and government organizations are still continuing to invest in IT security infrastructure in order to develop robust IT system. Companies are learning to keep pace with changing security technologies and best practices to combat the escalation of threats and vulnerabilities. The industry is moving towards delivering security solutions through multi-functional devices rather than using a firewall plus separate appliances to protect against specific threats such as anti-virus or content filtering. This is leading to emergence of UTM, which is a dynamically updated gateway anti-virus, anti-spyware, and intrusion prevention system. This is one of the best methods of keeping network security protected against new emerging threats.

Global Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage Systems (SMES) MarketDescriptionDescription:
18-June-2009, Pages-20
The market for Global Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage Systems (SMES) is growing but at a slower pace when compared to other technologies such as capacitor technologies and flywheels. The reason is that SMES devices are comparatively expensive with parasitic loses and low energy density. Also, demand for energy storing technology varies with its applications. For example, pumped storage hydropower is used for large-scale bulk storage, while SMES devices provide short term response energy storage, and are used when rapid power delivery is desired. These are used when power quality is significant instead of large energy storage capacity. Similarly, batteries can be used for both bulk energy storage as well as short-term power quality applications. However, batteries are associated with environmental and durability problems.
The report forecasts the size of Global Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage Systems (SMES)over the period 2008-2012, and segments the SMES systems market by core technologies and components. The report also draws comparison of SMES with competing technologies. Further, it highlights the advantages of using SMES energy storage technologies and the key market trends and challenges of the SMES systems market. In addition, the report talks about the major deployments carried out in the SMES systems market, and profiles some of the key vendors operating in this market.
