What is “Integrated Infrastructure”?
• According to IDC, Integrated Infrastructure is:• “Pre-integrated, vendor-certified systems containing server hardware, disk storage
systems, networking equipment, and basic element/systems management software.”

Integrated Infrastructure MomentumAnalyst Views on Shift to Integration
“By year-end 2015, 35% of total server shipped value will be as
integrated systems.”
“By 2015, converged infrastructure will represent 9.5% of the $64B services, software,
and hardware markets.”
“By 2017, nearly two-thirds of all enterprise
application infrastructures will be packaged in the form of a
converged solution.”
According to IDC, Integrated Systems Market CAGR at ~30%to > $14B in 2017 ($6.8B in Storage; $6.7B Servers)
