The overarching message NSN gave was its focus to support open interfaces and open platforms.

"With the shift towards open systems, the server-installed base is expanding and getting more heterogeneous. A myriad of products targeting an increasingly diverse customer base have been released by the various vendors. This has increased the management load of IT systems. IT managers also have to grapple with constantly emerging issues and technologies such as virtualization and the necessity to reduce power consumption. We forecast that the Japan infrastructure management software market will continue to expand amid this situation. IDC believes that vendors can maintain growth in this mature market by adding value to the management solutions they have been providing," says Mitsuhiro Iriya, research analyst, Software, IDC Japan.

The Japan IMS/MMD infrastructure market includes hardware, software, and professional services. "The need to reduce CapEx and OpEx, and the "end-of-life" of legacy infrastructure are major drivers for IMS/MMD. The carriers' plans to migrate their massive installed base of circuit switched systems including both wireline and wireless to NGN/IP will provide significant challenges and growth opportunities for softswitch and media gateway equipment vendors, back-office OSS/BSS vendors, application developers and professional services organizations," says George Hoffman, group manager, Communications, IDC Japan.
