Taxonomy Notes
IDC defines converged systems as
pre-integrated, vendor-certified systems containing server hardware,
disk storage systems, networking equipment, and basic element/systems
management software. Systems not sold with all four of these components
are not counted within this tracker. Specific to management software,
IDC includes embedded or integrated management and control software
optimized for the auto discovery, provisioning and pooling of physical
and virtual compute, storage and networking resources shipped as part of
the core, standard integrated system. Numbers in this press release may
not sum due to rounding.
