Converged Systems Segments
IDC's converged systems market view offers three segments: certified reference systems & integrated infrastructure, integrated platforms, and hyperconverged systems. The certified reference systems & integrated infrastructure market generated nearly $1.4 billion in revenue during the first quarter, which represents 9.0% year-over-year growth and 36.6% of total converged systems revenue. Integrated platforms sales declined 13.3% year over year during the first quarter of 2019, generating revenues of $556 million. This amounted to 14.8% of the total converged systems market revenue.
