Gartner defines the market for data and analytics (D&A) services as consulting and system integration (C&SI) and managed services. These services manage data for all uses (operational and analytical), and analyze data to drive business processes and improve business outcomes through more effective decision making. The core capabilities for vendor solutions in the D&A services market include: D&A strategy and operating model design Data management Analytics and business intelligence (ABI) Data science and machine learning D&A governance Program management Enterprise metadata
Gartner defines document management as the tools and practices used to capture, store, process, and access documents and content in support of personal, team and enterprise needs. It is used for a wide range of collaborative and operational purposes, enabling the digital workplace, content collaboration, content-centric processes, content services for enterprise applications and content governance. Gartner estimates that 70% to 80% of enterprise information is unstructured, posing a significant challenge for organizations that must unlock the potential and mitigate the risks of content. Document management tools are critical to enterprise application strategies that need to support unstructured information or content.
Gartner defines file and object storage platforms as software and/or hardware platforms that offer object and distributed file system technologies for storing and managing unstructured data over NFS, SMB and Amazon S3 access protocols. File and object storage platforms store, secure, protect and scale an organization’s unstructured data with access over the network using protocols such as NFS, SMB and Amazon S3. Use cases include analytics, workload consolidation, backup and archiving, hybrid cloud, object-native applications, cloud IT operations, and high-performance files.
The global industrial IoT platform delivers multiple integrations to industrial OT assets and other asset-intensive enterprises’ industrial data sources to aggregate, curate and deliver contextualized insights that enable intelligent applications and dashboards through an edge-to-cloud architecture. The global industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform market exists because of the core capabilities of integrated middleware software that support a multivendor marketplace of intelligent applications to facilitate and automate asset management decision making. IIoT platforms also provide operational visibility and control for plants, infrastructure and equipment. Common use cases are augmentation of industrial automation, remote operations, sustainability and energy management, global scalability, IT/operational technology (OT) convergence, and product servitization of industrial products. The IIoT platform monitors IoT endpoints and event streams, supports and/or translates a variety of manufacturer and industry proprietary protocols, analyzes data in the platform, at the edge and in the cloud, integrates and engages IT and OT systems in data sharing and consumption, enables application development and deployment and can enrich and supplement OT functions for improved asset management life cycle strategies and processes. In some emerging use cases, the IIoT platform may obviate some OT functions.
Integrated systems combine server, shared storage and network devices, along with management software and support in a preintegrated stack. The integrated system market has four segments: integrated infrastructure system, integrated reference architecture, integrated stack system and hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) segment. The overall HCI segment is further subdivided into Hyperconverged Integrated Systems (HCIS), which provides both software and hardware in an appliance model and the software only segment in which vendors provide the Hyperconverged software. This is then integrated with HW by a reseller or the end customer.
Integration means making independently designed applications and data work well together. IoT integration means making the mix of new IoT devices, IoT data, IoT platforms and IoT applications — combined with IT assets (business applications, legacy data, mobile, and SaaS) — work well together in the context of implementing end-to-end IoT business solutions. The IoT integration market is defined as the set of IoT integration capabilities that IoT project implementers need to successfully integrate end-to-end IoT business solutions.
Gartner defines Oracle Cloud Application (OCA) services as only those services associated with the products under Oracle Cloud Applications, also known as SaaS. This means consultancy, migration, implementation, ongoing services, postimplementation evolution and optimization services. To qualify, each vendor project must have an “anchoring” OCA product from at least one of the following Oracle “Fusion” solutions: - Advertising and customer experience (ACX) - Industry applications (IA) - Enterprise resource planning (ERP; includes the previous EPM applications) - Human capital management (HCM) - Supply chain management (SCM)
The professional and managed services market for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) includes consulting, implementation and ongoing management services for Oracle and non-Oracle workloads hosted on OCI. Service providers in this market combine expertise in Oracle solutions and OCI with additional skills managing private infrastructure, hybrid IT, multicloud, and sovereign and distributed cloud. These providers align their services to the client’s cloud strategy, timing, cost objectives and business outcomes through strategic and operational thought leadership.
Platform-native consumption services (PNCS) are multidomain, consumption-based, as-a-service offerings for enterprise mission-critical infrastructure. PNCS vendors’ platform and product capabilities provide API-centric control planes for SLA-based IT operations life cycle management and support. PNCS offerings include storage as a service (STaaS), compute as a service (CaaS), network as a service (NaaS), and data protection service offerings, including backup, archive and ransomware detection. PNCS vendors use artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) infrastructure telemetry, software and automation tools to provide proactive SLA management. IT outcomes include improved productivity, cyber-resilience and continuous workload infrastructure cost optimization. PNCS provides a hybrid IT operations platform approach to on-premises consumption-based as-a-service offerings in lieu of centralizing mission-critical infrastructure on the public cloud. PNCS vendors provide as-a-service offerings such as STaaS, CaaS and NaaS to enable IT operations to shift from capital expenditure (capex) to consumption for the benefits of an on-premises hybrid platform operating model. Major benefits that PNCS solutions provide include asset cost optimization, productivity improvement, sustainability and cyber-resilience SLAs that substantially improve IT operations. As a result, customers enjoy a more flexible usage model that meets business and IT operations demands. Other benefits include asset financing and management capabilities that favorably alter the economics of asset utilization. Use case examples include STaaS, CaaS, NaaS, data protection as a service such as ransomware protection or recovery, and higher levels of platform as a service (PaaS) services such as database as a service (DBaaS).
The primary storage platform (PSP) market addresses the need of I&O leaders to operate and support standardized enterprise storage products, along with platform-native service capabilities to support structured data applications. PSP products like primary enterprise storage arrays provide mandatory and common enterprise-class primary storage features and capabilities needed to support the platform. Platform-native services like storage as a service (STaaS) and ransomware protection, with PSP product capabilities, are required to support platform-native services. The PSP market has emerged at the convergence of two major enterprise storage market developments: the evolution of the PSP product market in conjunction with the demand for hybrid, multidomain platform-native storage services, extending on-premises services to public cloud, edge and colocation environments.
