IBM Ranked Number One in Worldwide Marketplace Share for Performance and Availability Management Software

IBM today announced that it has again been positioned as the number one vendor according to IDC’s report, “Worldwide Performance and Availability Management Software 2004 Vendor Shares.” The performance and availability management software market analyzed by IDC includes software tools routinely used in IT operations or by end users to manage the performance and response of the systems to nonscheduled system and application events. Performance and availability management software is made up of performance management software and event automation tools.

IDC ranked IBM as the top vendor overall, and also ranked IBM as the leader in both sub-categories: performance management software and event automation software. “Retaining the number one market share position in the management software market demonstrates that IBM’s management strategy and tools are resonating with our customers and are essential for their businesses,” said Bob Madey, Vice President, IBM Tivoli strategy and market management.

“We believe our continued ranking as the number one performance and availability management software vendor is proof that we are delivering the technology innovation and end-to-end management solutions and services that our customers need.” According to IDC’s report, in 2004 total worldwide performance and availability software revenue for all vendors combined was $3.9 billion in 2004, a strong 9.3% increase over 2003.
