SUMMARY
Volume I of VDC's 2006 Merchant Computer Boards for Embedded / Real Time Appl
ications Market Intell igence Program comprises an examination of the present
and future markets for Slot Single Board Computers and Embedded CPU Blades.
Included are current market sizes and forecasts through year 2010, along with
brief descriptions of emerging technologies in this space. Trends are
identified, markets analyzed, and strategies recommended.
Report Highlights
- ATCA w ill have the fastest-paced growth of all SBC architectures between
2006 and 2010.
- ASI will prolong the life expectancy of many of the older architectures,
such as PCI, CompactPCI, etc.
- The communications vertical has experienced a strong rebound in the SBC
market.
- Shipments of CPU Blades is expected to more than double from 2005 to 2007.
