Earlier this year, the
451 Group reported that
the Big Four systems
management vendors (BMC,
CA, HP, and IBM) were
ripe for a shakeup, and
had been for some time.
Poised at the top of a
healthy, lucrative
market, it hardly seems
likely that these market
leaders could be
threatened by newcomers.
Nevertheless, they are
being challenged and the
enterprise IT world is
paying attention to the
outcome. How real is the
threat, and what changes
will it eventually bring
to the IT infrastructure
management software?
