As chipset system architectures continue to evolve, advanced packaging is required to complement their designs.</P><P>“In 2023, because of market conditions, there was lackluster demand for consumer electronics. However, the AI and high-performance computing (HPC) markets experienced strong demand, and with inventory gradually decreasing in the supply chain, chip market demand is slowly recovering. The semiconductor supply chain is poised to embrace positive market opportunities in 2024,” says Galen Zeng, senior research manager, Semiconductor Research, IDC Asia/Pacific.</P> Market Presentation Thu, 07 Dec 2023 05:00:00 GMT Galen Zeng 2023年 国内LPWAおよびIoT衛星通信サービス市場動向 https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=JPJ49894523&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>近年、通信事業者が低軌道(LEO)の人工衛星やHAPS(High Altitude Platform Station)などのNTN(Non-Terrestrial Network)通信技術を用いて広範囲をカバーする取り組みを行っており、そのIoT(Internet of Things)分野の活用にも関心が集まっている。また、効率的にIoT通信を行うための新たなLPWA(Low Power Wide Area)規格の策定などの動向が生まれている。こうした状況を踏まえ、LPWA通信やNTN通信技術の国内IoT市場への影響を分析することを本調査レポートの目的とする。今回の調査では、LPWA通信を公衆網として提供する事業者やNTNを用いた通信サービスに取り組む事業者に着目している。そうした事業者が想定しているユースケースやユーザー企業の特徴、注目すべき市場動向や法規制の動向に加え、各事業者の戦略の分析を試みている。</P><P>「低軌道衛星を用いた通信サービスでは、通信事業者が最初に取り組んでいるのはIoTよりもむしろ、ブロードバンドインターネットや携帯電話のデータ通信/音声通話サービスである。また、LPWA通信サービス市場で立ち上がりつつ有望な市場の一つに、製造業でのスマートメンテナンス向け市場がある。通信事業者やSIerは、適切なパートナーシップなどを通じて、こうした市場での案件獲得を目指すべきである」とIDC Japan、Infrastructure & Devicesのリサーチマネージャーである山下 頼行は述べている。</P> Market Perspective Thu, 07 Dec 2023 05:00:00 GMT Yoriyuki Yamashita Amazon End-User Computing Group Responds to Customer Logistical Challenges https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=lcUS51488323&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>In the storm of announcements about AI (generative and not), Amazon also released the Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client. Based on the Fire TV Cube, this device is not an attempt to revolutionize the thin client market; rather, Amazon is trying to bring the power of its logistics and manufacturing network to bear on the sticky challenge of IT device life cycles and management in a rapidly changing world. </P> IDC Link Thu, 07 Dec 2023 05:00:00 GMT Shannon Kalvar Diverse Drivers Deepen Service Provider Commitments to Sustainability Goals https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=US51094123&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC Survey Spotlight uses data from IDC's 2023 <I>Service Provider View Survey,</I> which collects responses from 400 IT decision makers and line-of-business (LOB) leaders at tier 2 and tier 3 cloud service providers — aka the "long tail." This IDC Survey Spotlight is one of the first published deliverables to IDC's new Service Provider Adoption Trends and Strategies CIS. </P><P>IDC's Service Provider Adoption Trends and Strategies CIS analyzes the current strategies, service offerings, suppliers, partner ecosystems, and investment intentions of tier 2 and tier 3 cloud service providers of varying types, including managed service providers (MSPs), systems integrators (SIs), independent software vendors (ISVs), infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) providers, platform-as-a-service (PaaS) providers, and others globally.</P><P>This document provides a deep dive into the different stages tier 2 and tier 3 cloud service providers are at with their environmental sustainability strategies, including commitments to achieving net zero targets. It also offers insights into the different factors that are driving service provider commitments to specific sustainability goals. The reasons behind service providers' adoption of sustainability initiatives are diverse and include the importance of national, regional, or industry-specific regulatory requirements and the need to meet the demands and expectations of customers, investments, and ecosystem partners.</P> IDC Survey Spotlight Thu, 07 Dec 2023 05:00:00 GMT Chris Drake Enterprise Spending Pattern on Cloud Connectivity/Cloud Networking https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=US51431823&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC Survey highlights the enterprise spending pattern on cloud connectivity/cloud networking.
