Summary

This IDC study examines the application server middleware market for the period from 2005 to 2007. Included are individual vendor share tables for application server software platforms (ASSPs) and transaction processing monitors (TPMs). Worldwide market size is provided for 2007, with trends influencing future growth.

""While mature, this market is also in the middle of innovation. Vendors that plan to maintain or improve their positions should be working on extreme transaction processing (XTP) and virtualization,"" according to Maureen Fleming, program director, Business Process Automation and Deployment.
