本研究报告主要针对2018年数字政府大数据市场的市场规模、厂商竞争态势、技术发展趋势以及场景化的最佳实践等维度进行体系化的研究。
"数字政府建设尚未形成规模化、可复制的大数据平台服务与应用场景创新，尤其是在数字政府1.0时代，以Hadoop技术栈为主建设的大数据管理平台覆盖了国家级与多数省级市场，其主要功能在于提供分布式的数据存储。数字政府2.0时代，政府大数据基础平台建设逐渐融合Hadoop、GreenPlum、Spark等多元大数据技术，开始以业务导向为主，促成场景驱动技术选型。同时，基础平台在原本技术门槛高的基础上又融合了日益复杂的技术生态，使得基础平台市场趋近集约化。随着省级大数据基础平台部署基本覆盖，面向数据本身的管理与治理市场还处于大规模的人力投入阶段，相对较离散，正是技术颠覆的最佳发力点。"IDC政府行业与智慧城市研究组研究经理詹墨磊表示。
...本报告从政策驱动、国际环境以及细分市场份额出发，洞察政府行业数字化发展情况并为厂商提供发展建议。
"政府数字化转型的关键在于融合与促进社会信息化大发展，是中国国家竞争力能够在国际纷繁复杂的政治经济环境中得以立足的强有力保障。政府数字化转型提升了政府本身的业务信息化水平，促进了管理型政府向服务型政府的进一步转变，促进了社会营商环境的优化以及居民满意度的提升。在此基础上，政府数字化转型的核心将要考虑与智慧城市、平安城市以及其他场景化应用、管理与服务平台的结合，考虑与卫星应用、地理信息、5G、人工智能等技术发展的应用产生的新兴场景的融合，以及如何形成国家核心技术创新与"国产替代"进程加速的领先驱动力。2019年政府数字化转型将开启社会总体信息化发展大融合、新兴场景大爆炸、技术创新大变革的时代。"IDC政府行业和智慧城市研究经理詹墨磊表示。
...2019年4月26日，浪潮商用机器有限公司在北京召开了媒体纷享会，主题为“POWER 之春，赋能数字经济新活力”。
2018 年9 月17-18 日，浪潮信息股份有限公司在北京举办2018年度分析师大会，提出了5年内成为全球服务器市场第一的目标，并介绍了包括服务器、存储、高性能计算、云计算管理软件等在内的各产品线过去一年的成绩，以及未来的发展战略。浪潮表示出对于人工智能领域美好前景的重视，并将会重点投资人工智能基础架构方面的产品。此外，浪潮还提出了JDM (Joint Design Manufacture) 的服务器生产和合作模式。IDC 认为，浪潮在人工智能基础架构产品和新型商业模式的创新和探索都会对未来的数据中心领域产生深远的影响。
...IDC认为，逐渐的，数据管理和服务的工作量会更加巨大，在可预见的未来，PBBA逐渐进入主流的趋势会愈发明显，因为用户会更加依赖存储一体机的丰富特性，特别是数据删重，虚拟化适配，以及快速恢复等功能。与此同时，PBBA的供应商已经将他们的注意力从商品硬件转移到投资软件上，这将进一步帮助他们满足市场的需求，备份一体机的市场增长潜力也是非常庞大的。
2017年，中国的私有云建设依然在各个行业快速展开，大型企业已经完成了云的规划，并实现了业务向私有云部分的迁移。除了硬件与软件，服务在帮助私有云落地的过程中起到至关重要的作用，包含咨询、迁移、开发、建设运维等一系列实际交付工作。私有云服务市场在未来5年保持高速增长，2017到2022年复合增长率为23.1%。该市场不仅有服务商参与，也包含硬件厂商，各自均在加强自身服务能力的建设，为客户的私有云建设贡献力量。
2017年私有云服务市场达到2544. 54百万美元。市场呈现出如下几个特点：
...本次研究对象包括中国政务云市场具备一定规模的领导厂商，及各种不同类型政务云厂商中的典型企业，涵盖IT基础设施厂商、系统集成商、互联网公司等。IDC针对入选的政务云厂商的能力和战略进行评估，主要标准包括技术产品和解决方案、市场和商业表现，以及公司业务管理运作等三个维度，各维度根据市场情况进一步划分为若干细分项，并配以不同权重，从而形成IDC MarketScape综合评分体系，IDC分析师针对厂商和最终用户的深入访谈，集中分析并确定各厂商在IDC MarketScape中的相对位置，并探讨厂商的特点和战略，总结发展趋势，为政府用户选择云厂商提供参考。
“中国政务云市场发展迅速且商机巨大，并将在未来几年保持高速增长。巨大的商机带动了政务云厂商的迅猛发展，也为政府选择合作厂商带来了巨大挑战。IDC对中国政务云厂商进行科学严谨地评估，并通过IDC独有的MarketScape图表形式进行直观展现，以客观真实地反映中国政务云市场厂商实际情况，为政府选择合作厂商提供参考和帮助。”——IDC中国行业研究部高级研究经理麻芃博士表示。
