Re: Qwest and KPMG ASP Plans

Thread,
FWIW I've been reading a slew of articles on ASP deployment plans from a variety of sources. As we know, CTXS is going directly after this market per Q1's CC. The figures for the size of the potential market keep rising and rising. The latest being $25 billion by 2001. Pretty big number since I don't believe the ASP market has taken off yet.

It's important to note the linked article does not directly mention CTXS. I really only posted for the estimated size of the ASP market.

It will be interesting to hear how well the ASP market is going for CTXS and I suppose we will find out in Q2's CC. Sure seems like a market tailor-made for a CTXS solution.
