Web hosting quarterly reports now available from Tier 1

Tier 1 Research, an independent research and consulting firm covering the IT and telecom industries, announces the immediate availability of two new quarterly reports separately covering the large- and small-enterprise markets for Internet infrastructure software and services. These in-depth reports describe the key emerging trends, preview expected future events, and deliver substantial details on historic and forecasted, company-by-company and industry-wide revenues for colocation, Web hosting and managed infrastructure services.

Emerging trends highlighted in the 79-page "PreReview 2Q03/1Q03: Weak IT spending drives vendors to sell business solutions instead of infrastructure" report include: 1) how utility infrastructure vendors could trump enterprise application vendors for ASP leadership, 2) the rising popularity for Network Operations Center (NOC) outsourcing and data center migration services, 3) why systems integrators are partnering more with MSPs, and 4) how dynamic content delivery will limit traditional CDN service growth. The report includes a thorough review of Web hosting revenues for 1Q03, including vendor-by-vendor detail accounting for the 11.6% annual growth over 1Q02. These results were right in-line with Tier 1 Research’s estimates rendering the projection for all of 2003 to show a 15% rise from 2002 levels. "The rising level of interest in the Internet infrastructure sector is shown by the 16.3% average increase from 45 of the sector’s key stocks exceeding NASDAQ’s 13.7% rise*," said Andrew Schroepfer, founder and president of Tier 1 Research. "Collectively, the sector's outlook has greatly improved and these reports provide the details necessary for all audiences to understand and act upon our conclusion that growth prospects remain bright."

Emerging trends highlighted in the 34-page "PreReview 2Q03/1Q03: Mass Market Hosting" report include: 1) Competition in the hosting automation space heats up with new entrants and products; 2) shared hosting security comes under the gun and new products and services are released to fill the holes; and 3) the VPS market will feel the pinch from the proliferation of sub-$100 dedicated servers. The report includes a review of the key market share moves made in 1Q03, and it also integrates data from Netcraft and The State of the Domain into an even more complete picture of the sector.
