Introduction

Abstract

This IDC study examines the application server middleware market for the period from 2005 to 2008. Worldwide market size is provided for 2008, along with trends and the revenue and market shares of the leading vendors. This study sizes the overall ASM market in addition to application server software platforms and transaction processing monitors.

"As this software matures, we are seeing a handful of important trends that will help drive innovation and create competitive differentiation but also stabilize legacy applications. Those trends include: repercussions of the flight from JEE to multicontainer ASSP offerings, integration of management into ASSPs, and mainframe and legacy stickiness." — Maureen Fleming, program director, Business Process Automation and Deployment
