Abstract

This IDC study defines and forecasts the emerging workspace-as-a-service (WaaS) market.

"The virtual client computing market is going to grow from $2.4 billion in 2011 to $3.5 billion in 2016, but up-front costs and complexity will drive organizations to look for an outsourced delivery model, driving the hosted market to $661.1 million by 2016," says Brett Waldman, research manager, Client Virtualization Software. "Despite many organizations looking to outsource virtual desktops today, the rise in mobility is actually transforming the demand as we speak, toward applications and data. It is this workspace that end users want to be able to access anywhere, anytime, anyplace — giving rise to what IDC defines as workspace as a service."
