Executive Summary

The vast majority of $1 billion-plus companies are now choosing to standardize their distributed computing on the Windows Server platform. The increasing tendency toward server consolidation and centralization are driving the need for more mature management technologies — not only for Windows Server itself, but also for Active Directory, Exchange, and other applications running on this platform. Consequently, the Windows Server platform management technologies market will continue to grow strongly through at least 2007. Microsoft will benefit most from this trend, as clients are increasingly less likely to purchase point products. Other companies that should be able to increase their market share in the short and medium term are Quest Software, Hewlett-Packard, and NetPro.
