Gartner: IBM Steals Database Crown from Oracle
IBM
has dislodged Oracle Corp. from the top of the market for
database
management software, helped along by its billion-dollar purchase
of Informix
Corp., according to new figures being released today by
Stamford,
Conn.-based Gartner Inc.
In 2001, IBM and Westborough,
Mass.-based Informix captured a combined 34.6%
of worldwide new license
revenue from database management systems, besting
Oracle's 32%, Gartner
said. In 2000, the totals were 33.7% for IBM-Informix
and 34.1% for
Oracle.
The market as a whole generated $8.8 billion in revenue,
growing just 1.4%
from the previous year. In contrast, revenue climbed a
brisk 10% from 1999
to 2000, Gartner said.
Most database management
systems vendors saw single-digit or negative
growth, although Microsoft
Corp. was a notable exception, Gartner said. The
software giant saw revenue
from new database management systems licenses
climb 17.8%, putting it in
third place behind Oracle with 16.3% of the
market. Sybase Inc. was a
distant fourth with 2.6%.
