据IDC最近的一份研究报告表明,到2002年,全球中间件产品市场的营业额将超过70亿美元。尽管1997年全球市场的情况并不十分理想,面临着2000问题、欧洲统一货币体系的转变以及东南亚地区经济危机等诸多问题,但总体来说,中间件产品依旧表现得很“不平凡”,1997年全球中间件市场的综合增长率为28％,销售额达到了17.16亿美元。 IDC的研究员认为这种增长的趋势是不可逆转的,而且其每年的增长速度比所预期的还要快。该市场的快速增长得益于用户对中间件产品的巨大兴趣,这是因为它能很大程度上简化一个由不同硬件构成的分布式处理环境的复杂性。
According to a recent study by IDC, by 2002, the global middleware market will have a turnover of more than $7 billion. Although the situation in the global market in 1997 was not very satisfactory and faced with many problems such as the 2000 problem, the transformation of the European unified monetary system, and the economic crisis in Southeast Asia, overall, middleware products still performed very “unusual”, 1997. The global middleware market’s overall growth rate was 28%, and sales reached US$1.716 billion. IDC researchers believe that this growth trend is irreversible and that its annual growth rate is faster than expected. The rapid growth of this market has benefited from the user’s great interest in middleware products, because it can greatly simplify the complexity of a distributed processing environment composed of different hardware.
