  • Crowdfunding in Asia
    Crowdfunding in Asia May 2018 Introducing the first free directory of crowdfunding platforms across Asia. The data is based on the AlliedCrowds Capital Finder, a database of over 7,000 alternative finance capital providers across emerging markets. Our data has been used by organizations like FSD Asia, UNDP, World Green Economy Organization, GIZ, World Bank, and others in order to provide unique, actionable insights into the world of emerging market alternative finance. This is the latest of our regular reports on alternative finance in emerging markets; you can find all previous reports here. Crowdfunding rose in prominence in the post-financial crisis years (starting in 2012), and for good reason: a global credit crunch limited the amount of funding available to entrepreneurs and small businesses. Since then, crowdfunding has grown rapidly around the world. Crowdfunding is especially consequential in countries where SMEs find it difficult to raise capital to start or grow their businesses. This is the case in many Asian countries; according to the SME Finance Forum, there is a $2.3 trillion MSME credit gap in East Asia and the Pacific. Crowdfunding can help to fill this gap by offering individuals and small businesses an alternative source of capital. This can come in the form of donation-based as well as lending-based (peer-to-peer or peer-to-business) crowdfunding. In order to help entrepreneurs and small business owners to find the crowdfunding platform that’s right for them, we are releasing the first publicly available list of all crowdfunding platforms across Asia. The report is split into two key sections: the first one is an overview of crowdfunding platforms, and how active they are across the largest markets on the continent.

  • Gartner Magic Quadrant for Integrated Systems
    (http://www.gartner.com/home) LICENSED FOR DISTRIBUTION Magic Quadrant for Integrated Systems Published: 10 October 2016 ID: G00291000 Analyst(s): Andrew Butler, Philip Dawson, Julia Palmer, George J. Weiss, Kiyomi Yamada Summary Hyperconvergence is disrupting the integrated system market, with major system vendors joining the growing number of startups (some of which are now mature). I&O leaders should still recognize a role for solutions based on SANs and either blades or rack servers, depending on workload requirements. Strategic Planning Assumptions By 2019, approximately 30% of the global storage array capacity installed in enterprise data centers will be deployed on software-defined storage (SDS) or hyperconverged integrated system (HCIS) architectures based on x86 hardware systems, up from less than 5% today. Twenty percent of mission-critical applications currently deployed on three-tier IT infrastructure will transition to HCISs by 2020. Market Definition/Description This document was revised on 9 November 2016. The document you are viewing is the corrected version. For more information, see the Corrections page on gartner.com. Gartner's view of the integrated system market is focused on transformational technologies or approaches delivering on the future needs of end users. It is not focused purely on the market as it is today. Integrated systems are combinations of server, storage and network infrastructure, sold with management software that facilitates the provisioning and management of the combined unit. As organizations seek to modernize and consolidate legacy data center infrastructure, the appeal of integrated systems is high, as these technologies are able to coexist with existing systems and integrate increasingly with the use of external cloud services.
