这份报告研究全世界低档和高档LAN管理软件的市场。低档LAN管理软件运行于DOS/Windows操作系统。高档LAN管理软件借助于32位操作系统如UNIX、Windows NT和OS/2;除Ca-bletron公司的Spectrum之外,它们均运行于标准的SNMP平台如SunNet Man-ager或HP OpenView之上。 本报告把LAN管理与集线器管理归属同一类。虽然当前的LAN环境包含各种各样的设备,但集线器仍是所有LAN管理功能的最重要集成地点。集线器管理软件迅速演变成包含各种路由器和交换机的管理功能。 复杂的LAN环境和网间互连环境需要高级的管理功能,以便最充分地利用硬件投资。LAN厂家和集线器厂家正在三条战线上作出努力。这份报告将对这些技术趋势进行分析,估计到1996年以后,LAN交换机、ATM和虚拟LAN的管理能力将是厂家成败的关键因素。 主要的市场预测如下: 1994年,LAN管理软件销量增长49%,达到33024套;销额增长25.8%,达到1.45亿美元。 在1994～1999年间,LAN管理软件销量平均每年递增18%,销额每年递增9%。到1999年,销量将达75547套,销额将达2.23亿美元。 低档LAN管理软件销量在总市场中所占的比例将从1994年的59%上升到1999年的70.6%,这是由于基于Windows的LAN管理软件长势更好的缘故。
This report examines the market for low-end and upscale LAN management software worldwide. Low-end LAN management software running on DOS / Windows operating system. High-end LAN management software is available on 32-bit operating systems such as UNIX, Windows NT and OS / 2; all except Capectron Spectrum, they run on standard SNMP platforms like SunNet Man-ager or HP OpenView. This report attributes LAN management and hub management to the same category. Although the current LAN environment includes a wide range of devices, hubs remain the most important integration point for all LAN management functions. Hub management software evolved into management capabilities that include a variety of routers and switches. Complex LAN environments and internetworking environments require advanced management capabilities to make the most of hardware investments. LAN manufacturers and hub manufacturers are making efforts on three fronts. The report will analyze these technology trends and estimate that by 1996, the management capabilities of LAN switches, ATMs, and virtual LANs will be key to manufacturers’ success. The key market projections are as follows: In 1994, LAN management software sales increased 49% to 33,024 units; sales increased 25.8% to $ 145 million. Between 1994 and 1999, LAN management software sales increased by an average of 18% annually, with an annual increase of 9%. By 1999, sales will reach 75,547 units, sales will reach 223 million US dollars. The share of low-end LAN management software in the total market will increase from 59% in 1994 to 70.6% in 1999 due to the better Windows-based LAN management software.
