This IDC study examines the performance and availability management software market for the 2006-2008 period. Worldwide market size is provided for 2008, with trends from 2006. Despite challenging global economic conditions, IDC estimates the worldwide performance and availability management software market increased 10.4% to a total of $5.0 billion in 2008.

"Increasing use of virtualization and SOA requires IT teams to deploy more sophisticated performance and availability monitoring and planning tools to keep up with the dynamic nature of these fast-changing environments," explains Mary Johnston Turner, research director for Enterprise System Management Software at IDC. She adds, "A number of start-up and point solution players have emerged to address these challenges during the past several years. We began to see signs of consolidation in 2008 and expect the pace of acquisitions and mergers in this market to accelerate in 2009 and 2010."
