Summary

This IDC study, which is a translation of the Japanese report IDC #J9150101, presents a definition and an overview of the Japan virtual client computing market. The virtual client computing (VCC) market is categorized into four submarkets: thin client market, thin client solution market, virtualization software market, and virtual client solution market. This study describes in detail the virtualization software market, where many vendors have entered the market in desktop virtualization. The market overview summarizes the recent trends of major products and vendors.

"In addition to thin client solution hardware, it is necessary to consider the market trends from the perspective of virtualization software such as desktop virtualization. Virtualization technologies have been increasing in a client environment and the market is experiencing a boom through acquisitions by virtualization vendors and entry of leading vendors in the market. Virtualization in a client environment would be one of the effective solutions to resolve management issues in companies," points out Hiroshi Shibutani, senior market analyst, PCs, IDC Japan.
