The agreement also reinforces Verizon's converged network strategy, in which a single physical network is designed to serve broadband, mobility, enterprise, and AI-related use cases, bringing together requirements that are often planned separately across business or product lines.</P> IDC Link Mon, 21 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT Harsheeta Arora https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=US53538826&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC Pivot Table contains quarterly (2012 to the previous quarter) market size and share by vendor, the air interface generation of the mobile phone (highest generation supported), and by major semiconductor type.

This overview serves as an update to <I>Worldwide Server Infrastructure Workloads by Operating System Environment Forecast, 2025–2029</I> (IDC #US53804325, November 2025), providing a focused analysis of spending dynamics across workloads based on whether these workloads are running on servers supporting Windows, Linux, or mainframe or other OSEs such as Unix. As Linux continues to widen its lead as the default substrate for AI-driven infrastructure investment, and as Windows and mainframe/other OS settle into narrower, more specialized roles, understanding how these workload-level dynamics differ across operating systems is important for vendor strategy, deal positioning, and infrastructure planning.</P> Market Presentation Mon, 21 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT Max Pepper https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=US54340326&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC Survey analyzes results from IDC's 2026 <I>U.S. Enterprise Mobility Decision-Maker Survey </I>to examine how enterprises are balancing corporate-liable (CL) and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) mobility strategies across their workforce. The study explores mobile device ownership models, deployment preferences, OS distribution, mobility management approaches, and the factors influencing device program selection in U.S. organizations.</P><P>This document also examines the business, operational, and security considerations driving CL and BYOD adoption, including cost management, employee support requirements, device lifecycle planning, and workforce mobility needs. The findings provide insight into how enterprises are evolving their mobile device programs, where future investment is likely to be concentrated, and what these trends mean for mobility technology suppliers seeking growth opportunities in an increasingly diverse device environment.</P> IDC Survey Sat, 19 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT Bryan Bassett https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=US54340126&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC Market Analysis Perspective provides insight into the current and future state of the enterprise mobility: workspace and deployment strategies market.

Llamas, research director for IDC's Mobile Phones team. "Now that Apple has announced its iPhone Duo, we look at what the interest is across multiple markets around the world.

The company also confirmed that iOS 27 will be available on Monday, September 14, 2026, for existing supported iPhones. While the iPhone Duo holds potential for many business use cases, new management frameworks underlying iOS 27 are what enterprise IT teams should be paying attention to, more than any single piece of hardware announced at the event. Significant changes are coming to how Apple devices are managed, secured, and governed, with repercussions across the entire corporate managed-device installed base — from the brand-new foldable to a three-year-old iPhone already in an employee's pocket (the moment IT allows the update through MDM/UEM).</P> IDC Link Tue, 15 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT Phil Hochmuth https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=US54389926&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC Market Analysis Perspective provides insight into the current and future state of the worldwide enterprise network consulting and integration services (NCIS) market.
