| High availability computing is positioned to be a major catalyst in revolutionizing the deployment of Web services. High availability is emerging as a platform of choice for data centers in every industry and for Internet servers due to its economic and management efficiencies. IBM is the largest market participant in the sale of data networking equipment to enterprises is rapidly moving toward having significant voice transport capability. Motorola represents a primary new competitor in converged voice and data enterprise network solutions by virtue of dominating data router markets for the enterprise. IBM and Tibco are the market leaders in breadth of product offering and substantial participation in the market with a broad set of infrastructure offerings. Tibco had strong market participation in application integration software license markets with 10.7% market share in 2002. Specialized e-business connectivity companies include WebMethods. WebMethods had market participation of 9.5%EAI market share and was the number three market participant in terms of revenue. WebMethods has had market strength due to the ability to execute implementations in a timely manner and to Web enable servers.
