Some are focused specifically on delivering solutions such as storage as a service, but the use of cloud-based storage is much broader. This presentation was given at Storage Networking World in Dallas, Texas, on October 15, 2008. It defines and forecasts cloud-based storage and puts it in the broader context of cloud computing. IDC also highlights the business requirements that will drive the adoption of cloud-based storage and examines the industries and companies that will build and use cloud-based storage.

"Collaborative applications are becoming more diverse and sophisticated in terms of functions from conventional support tools such as email and calendar to sharing/utilization of contents and knowledge, and real-time communications such as instant messaging and Web conferencing. On the other hand, many users give priority to investments on backbone applications such as accounting systems and are rather reluctant to invest on information-centered collaborative applications, which results in insufficient utilization of these applications. Vendors and system integrators will have to promote implementation of collaborative applications and take flexible approaches to users' various work styles," analyzes Mitsuhiro Iriya, research analyst, Software, IDC Japan.

Mobile TV represents a unique opportunity for the television industry to increase total television viewing, increase total audience sizes, reinvent "appointment TV," and drive additional advertising revenue through contextual advertising. "The opportunity to increase total television viewing through mobile TV should be a key strategic imperative of the television industry," notes Scott Ellison, vice president of Wireless and Mobile Communications. "The time shifting and place shifting offered by mobile TV are not threats — they are the key opportunity because they make more total hours available to audiences for television viewing — and this has potentially profound implications for the television industry."
