Executive Summary
The basic demand for efficient replication of data has wide appeal and is relevant to many practical applications across the enterprise. These include real-time synchronization of operational data among production applications, periodic propagation of data from production systems to analytical engines, batch data migration, and others. The focus of this Market Overview is specific to the application of data replication technology in support of high-availability and business continuity objectives. Despite significant declines in the cost of supporting infrastructure (server, storage, and network bandwidth) and a recovering economy, we believe that market growth will fall in the 15% to 20% range through year-end 2005. This is a very healthy growth rate, but less than the 40% to 50% growth claimed by some vendors in recent periods and below expectations that might be drawn from CIO spending surveys. Greater product adoptions and investment will continue to be restricted by the operational complexity and indirect costs associated with this class of technology.
