According to a press release by IDC, global provider of market intelligence, remote access services software is a market that will continue to expand. Solutions that will help ensure continuity as part
of business recovery plans in the eventuality of a shutdown by providing remote access to resources and data make up a market which IDC forecasts that it will grow with an estimated 34% ratio on a year-to-year basis until 2010.

“Remote access services software has the potential to grow across many horizontal and vertical markets, IDC believes. It can be used by both consumers and businesses, as anyone with a PC is a possible customer. Remote access services use screen-sharing technology that enables one PC to stream its desktop to a remote PC by an Internet connection. Once on the remote PC, the user can access all of the applications sitting on their desktop via a Web browser. These products are offered as a service, but vendors may allow the application to be hosted within a customer's datacenter as well,” revealed the press release.

Vendor revenue tendencies and market growth predictions are comprised in IDC's studies Worldwide Remote Access Services 2006-2010 Forecast and 2005 Vendor Shares.

"In today's business environment, there are a number of use cases for remote access services, and business continuity is certainly a strong one," says Stacy Sudan, research analyst in IDC's Mobile Software research program. "By giving workers the ability to access their office desktop from a Web browser, remote access services software allows them to be productive from anywhere, no matter what the situation is."
