Several Factors Are Favourable For The Success Of APC's Infrastruxure (ISX) Solution In The European Market, The Single Biggest Driver Is The Movement Among Users Towards A Single Vendor That Provides A Comprehensive Solution.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c48059) has announced the addition of "Strategic Analysis of APC's InfraStruXure (ISX ISX InstallShield Express (Setup software) ISX Internet Service Exchange (Abovenet) ISX Insoluble Starch Xanthate ISX Information Superiority Experiments ISX Infrastructure ISX Incisive Software Extensions ) Solution in Europe" to their offering. This Frost & Sullivan white paper titled Strategic Analysis of APC's InfraStruXure (ISX) Solution in Europe provides an analysis of APC's ISX solution and an assessment of its success in Europe. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following market for such products: small UPS, medium UPS and large UPS systems. Market Overview Growing Trend Towards a Single Vendor for all Mission-Critical Needs Increases Demand for ISX Solution APC's InfraStruXure (ISX) architecture is well positioned to cater to the growing demand from users for a single vendor for all their mission-critical needs. This group mostly comprises enterprise or corporate solutions, mostly through the IT channel. Introduced in 2003, the ISX solution is changing the way end users look at their needs. The solution is offered to network critical physical infrastructure (NCPI NCPI Network Critical Physical Infrastructure NCPI National Clay Pipe Institute (Alexandria, VA) NCPI National Crime Prevention Institute NCPI Net Cost of Pure Insurance (life insurance) ), ranging from server rooms to data centres. Since its introduction in 2003, ISX installations have significantly contributed to APC's top-line growth. With APC's acquisition by Schneider and the imminent merger with MGE Mge Mycoplasma Genitalium MGE Minneapolis Grain Exchange MGE Madison Gas and Electric Company MGE Mobile Genetic Elements MGE Maintenance Ground Equipment MGE Microstation Graphics Environment MGE Modern Gun Effectiveness Model MGE Modular Gis Environment , the ISX solution is expected to achieve excellent market reach in Europe. In the third quarter of 2006, small UPS systems accounted for close to 75 per cent, while large systems contributed to 22 per cent of the total sales revenues. Underpinned by these trends, together, the companies are positioned to emerge as leaders across all UPS segments -- small, medium and large.

"Most end users prefer a single vendor for their mission-critical needs, which makes maintenance and services contracts simple and reliable. As a result, the ISX solution is well-positioned to cater to this demand due to its unique offering in the industry." Customised Solutions Key Factor in Growth The ISX solution goes beyond conventional stand-alone backup power An additional power source that can be used in the event of power failure.

This is achieved through the APC (1) (American Power Conversion Corporation, West Kingston, RI, www.apcc.com) The leading manufacturer of UPS systems and surge suppressors, founded in 1981 by Rodger Dowdell, Neil Rasmussen and Emanual Landsman, three electronic power engineers who had worked at MIT. design tool, which is an online portal that offers customisation based on individual project requirements, either online or through a service professional. Starting from the design portal to the standardised Adj. 1. standardised - brought into conformity with a standard; "standardized education" standardized standard - conforming to or constituting a standard of measurement or value; or of the usual or regularized or accepted kind; "windows of standard width"; components which are used to customise a solution, the ISX architecture is unique in its offering. Notably, the trend of bundling standard products and services has gained momentum in order to provide a comprehensive solution through mutually beneficial Adj. 1. mutually beneficial - mutually dependent interdependent, mutualist dependent - relying on or requiring a person or thing for support, supply, or what is needed; "dependent children"; "dependent on moisture" partnerships, while also moving towards developing such solutions in-house. This strategy has been adopted by power protection companies in order to counter the threat from the ISX solution. The initial cost of the ISX solution is higher in comparison to costs involved in installing components from multiple suppliers, thus posing a hindrance hin·drance n. 1. a. The act of hindering. b.

"Although the ISX solution offers cost savings on the operational front post-installation, this may still not convince buyers that are faced with a budget constraint A Budget Constraint represents the combinations of goods and services that a consumer can purchase given current prices and his income. Consumer theory uses the concepts of a budget constraint and a preference ordering to analyze consumer choices. during the initial purchase," explains the analyst. "Hence, adopting a consultancy-type sale approach will be useful, where customers are provided with an opportunity to install only what is needed and upgrade subsequently, based on incremental Additional or increased growth, bulk, quantity, number, or value; enlarged. Incremental cost is additional or increased cost of an item or service apart from its actual cost. needs."
