New York, New York - (The Hosting News) - January 14, 2008 - Tier1 Research has issued a new report, focused on research highlights including the leaders in the managed hosting and Internet infrastructure sector, while detailing and identifying recent trends affecting future directions for the marketplace.
Daniel Golding, Senior Analyst at T1R and author of the report noted, ”While the managed hosting sector sees tremendous growth, a massive transformation in how shared hosting services are successfully marketed and sold is well under way. Disk space and bandwidth is no longer a selling point, and customers are now looking for the functionality that enables them to do things like blog, share photos, publish profile pages on a social network or sell things online. As a result, shared hosting has quickly commoditized and become a common denominator of sorts. In other words, shared hosting is no longer just about selling web space for static websites; rather, it is more about the many different things that can be done in a hosted environment.”
The report shows that the content Internet infrastructure market will continue to grow rapidly through 2008. T1R analysts estimate that the total for 2007 Internet infrastructure revenue will reach $17,990.75m, which represents 26% growth over the 2006 total of $14,216.39m. Based on current trends in consumer behavior, T1R expects the market for Internet infrastructure to grow another 24% in 2008.
The managed hosting sector remains the largest sector within Internet infrastructure and has experienced tremendous growth in the last 12 months in excess of 30% and will continue to show similar growth rates moving forward. Several trends account for that strong growth, including increased managed hosting adoption by SMBs and mid-tier enterprises and hosting for software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers. Moving forward into 2009 and 2010, an array of new utility storage and hosting services will continue to fuel strong growth.
The findings are contained in a report released by New York-based T1R, an independent research firm that analyzes the financial and industry implications of developments affecting public and private companies within the hosting, IT, communications and Internet sectors. The report is the second in a series designed to provide timely analysis and perspective on key technology trends and marketplace developments in the Internet infrastructure marketplace. It includes sector-specific examinations of shared hosting, dedicated hosting, managed hosting, Internet content delivery, colocation and interconnection.
