About Us

Ideas International (IDEAS), a publicly traded company on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX:IDE), is the leading global supplier of comparative intelligence on enterprise infrastructure.

Our services enable end users to make better, faster decisions when selecting an IT vendor, planning a datacenter consolidation, or assessing the power and carbon footprint of their IT infrastructure. They also assist the leading global IT vendors with competitive pricing, positioning, marketing, and sales.

Our data services are driven through our core competency of consulting and analysis of the four key ?S? technologies of the high-end datacenter computing infrastructure:

  • Servers ? enterprise servers, industry-standard servers, blades, and workstations
  • Storage ? enterprise storage solutions featuring hardware and software
  • System Software ? operating systems, system management, and virtualization
  • Services ? IT infrastructure support services (ranging from self help, through traditional hardware and software support and installation services, up to and including the highest levels of high availability [HA], mission critical [MC], and disaster recovery [DR] infrastructure offerings)

Our specialized focus, our powerful underlying information dataset, and our unmatched technical analyst capability in these areas effectively positions us to provide highly valued research and consulting services for both the buy and sell sides of the global IT industry.
