2026年国内ITサービスベンダーの海外ビジネス戦略と日系企業のグローバル展開支援

Tatsuhiro Soga, Masaru Muramatsu — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

国内ITサービス市場は、企業のITモダナイゼーションやAI（Artificial Intelligence）活用への支出拡大を背景に成長基調にあるが、長期的には総人口の減少による経済規模の縮小によって、市場成長の鈍化も懸念される。このため、国内ITサービスベンダーにとって海外ビジネスの拡大は、次なる市場機会の候補となり得るが、大手グローバルベンダーの存在など留意すべき事項もある。

「国内ITサービスベンダーは、欧米やインドの大手ITサービスベンダーと正面から競うのではなく、重点市場を特定した上で、ドメインやソリューションに特化した高付加価値なサービスを訴求すべきである。加えて、持続的成長には、自律性の高いガバナンスモデルの構築と、迅速な意思決定を可能とする運営体制の構築が重要となる」と、IDC Japan、Software, Services, and IT Spendingのリサーチアナリストである曽我龍宏は述べている。

Kotaro Saito — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

本調査レポートは、2026年3月に実施した情報セキュリティ対策の実態調査に基づき、国内の企業／組織500社の導入実態と今後の方向性について分析した結果をまとめたものである。

セキュリティ製品ベンダーの戦略策定、開発計画、マーケティング活動に資する分析を提供するため、情報セキュリティ対策をすでに導入している企業だけでなく、導入を検討している企業を対象としている。セキュリティ被害の状況や情報セキュリティ対策の導入状況、AI（Artificial Intelligence）がセキュリティ対策に与える影響などについて調査／分析を行った。

ランサムウェアや不正ログインによる被害に加えて、企業が活用するAIへの攻撃も発生しており、企業が防御すべきIT資産の範囲は膨大になっている。「セキュリティ対策を強化するために、セキュリティ投資に積極的な企業が多い。ベンダーにとって、製品導入に留まらない支援を通じて、ユーザー企業から信頼を獲得することがますます重要になる」と、IDC Japan、Network and Securityのシニアリサーチアナリストである齊藤耕太郎は述べている。

Azure Local Scales Private Cloud to Thousands of Nodes

Rob Tiffany — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Microsoft’s announcement that Azure Local now scales to thousands of servers within a single sovereign environment represents a meaningful step forward in enterprise private cloud architecture, directly addressing the growing demand from regulated industries and national infrastructure operators for large-scale, on-premises cloud-consistent deployments. By combining expanded fault domains, GPU support for sovereign AI inference, and a validated partner ecosystem, Microsoft is positioning Azure Local as a platform for organizations that must balance digital sovereignty mandates with the operational scale and AI capabilities increasingly expected of modern cloud infrastructure.

Beyond the NVD: Rethinking Vulnerability Intelligence in an Era of Accelerating Disclosure

Michelle Abraham — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) April 2026 decision to formally limit common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) enrichment in the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) marks a structural shift in the vulnerability intelligence supply chain, with direct implications for security vendors and the organizations that depend on their data. Security teams that have anchored prioritization decisions to NVD-sourced CVSS scores now face an accelerating coverage gap at precisely the moment AI-driven vulnerability discovery is compressing response windows.

Hardcopy Vendor Financials, 4Q25: Vendors Close Tumultuous Calendar Year with Mixed Results

Geoffrey Wilbur, Abhyuday Jampu — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Perspective contains excerpts from public financial disclosures by leading hardcopy vendors and details the impact of inflation, economic uncertainty, and other issues facing hardcopy vendors on performance and forecasts.

"In the fourth quarter, the print market remained relatively steady, with vendors posting mixed results, as business and consumer confidence remained soft in the face of an uncertain economic and geopolitical environment. With the Middle East War and DRAM shortages making headlines in early 2026, print vendors can expect the market to remain challenging into at least the middle of the year." — Geoffrey Wilbur, research manager, Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions at IDC

IDC Market Glance: Cloud Data Logistics and Protection, 1Q26

Johnny Yu — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Glance provides an overview of the cloud data logistics and protection ecosystem, highlighting the core markets that organizations rely on to preserve, protect, and recover data across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. The ecosystem is anchored by data protection software and also includes purpose-built backup appliances (PBBA), magnetic tape, and data protection as a service (DPaaS), with DPaaS spanning backup as a service (BaaS), disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS), cyber-recovery as a service (CRaaS), and archive as a service (AaaS). Together, these segments show how the market is structured across software, integrated systems, and cloud-delivered services.

The market is increasingly being organized around integrated protection and recovery architectures as organizations look to simplify operations, improve recovery assurance, and strengthen cyber-resilience. In addition to traditional backup and replication, buyers are increasingly prioritizing capabilities such as immutability, isolated recovery, forensic analysis, and orchestrated recovery workflows. This document highlights vendors participating across these segments and reflects a market that continues to evolve toward cloud-delivered protection, broader recovery services, and more tightly linked protection and resilience strategies.
