IDC Q2 2016 Quarterly Update

Q2 2016 areas of interest for the IDC support team as reported by Rob Brothers, Program Vice President Software & Hardware Support and Deploy Services:

We had a very successful execution of a customer satisfaction study for support of the major technologies (servers, storage, networking, and converged systems).  We plan on a few marketscapes around that before the end of the year, our guess is about 2 due to some high demands for market sizing and the effect cloud is having on the support market.  Very interesting work if anyone is interested.  As always please let us know on topic areas that would be of interest.
