Rachel Liu, Tina Cui, Qijin Chen, Eric Wei, Lee Zhang — Sat, 26 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

2026年被业界定义为AI智能体元年，云厂商集体上调算力价格、模型企业业绩迅猛增长、Token经济成为中国AI产业最核心热点。IDC预测2026年全球Token消耗量约为40000万亿次，较2025年增长约20倍。Token使用量暴增为算力供给、模型迭代、单位Token成本降低、应用入口争夺等方面带来了一系列机遇和挑战。阿里云作为中国市场最领先的云厂商，正从计算、存储、网络、能源和设施、模型等各个方面进行投入和创新，致力于加快推动人工智能赋能千行百业。

BMC’s Mainframe Application Intelligence Platform for Agentic Software Engineering

George Mironescu — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Note discusses BMC’s latest capabilities and vision for application intelligence for mainframes.

“Gaining intelligence around AI software engineering activity and measuring that against AI investment is rapidly becoming a capability sought after. While the market is quickly emerging in this space, few have approached it with a high focus on mainframes. Given its expertise in that environment, BMC is distinctly positioned for that domain,” says George Mironescu, associate research director, Software Development, Delivery, and Engineering at IDC.

Cohesity Catalyst: Expanded DSPM Capabilities and Agent Recovery Pave the Way to Autonomous Resiliency

Jennifer Glenn, Johnny Yu — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

At its Catalyst 2026 event (September 16–17), Cohesity introduced two capabilities that extend its resilience story from infrastructure to data itself: automation that routes Cyera-powered DSPM classification directly into backup, retention, and recovery policy as data is created and reclassified, and Agent Resilience, a natively built capability that protects AI agent memory and configuration and can roll a misbehaving agent back to a known-good state. IDC finds both announcements are a reasonable bet that data security and data protection belong on one operational surface, but with the two disciplines still running separate playbooks and success metrics internally, the harder work ahead for most businesses is organizational not technical.

Comcast and Fastly Partner to Redefine Content Delivery Model Through a Programmable Edge Platform

Ghassan Abdo, Jitesh Bhayani — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

On September 10, 2026, Comcast and Fastly announced a partnership that embeds Fastly's programmable edge software directly into Comcast's nationwide network, including its virtual cable modem termination system (vCMTS) infrastructure. The deployment extends across more than 200 edge locations and is designed to improve streaming performance, reduce latency, and support emerging workloads such as gaming, edge compute, security services, and AI inference. Unlike traditional CDN relationships that operate alongside provider networks, Fastly's software becomes part of Comcast's network architecture. IDC views the announcement as a notable step toward a more integrated edge services model, where connectivity, content delivery, security, and compute capabilities converge on a common edge platform. Beyond improving content delivery, the partnership highlights how service providers can leverage distributed edge assets to support future AI-enabled and latency-sensitive services while creating new opportunities to monetize infrastructure investments.

Entrust Expands Cryptographic Security Platform with CBOM Import and Export

Jennifer Glenn — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

In September, Entrust expanded its Cryptographic Security Platform with new CBOM (cryptographic bill of materials) import and export capabilities, designed to help organizations build and maintain a cryptographic inventory and connect it to the systems and applications that depend on it. The release also adds Ansible-based automation for certificate operations, composite algorithm support for phased post-quantum migration, and SPIRE-based identities for AI agents and non-human workloads. That kind of connected inventory is becoming expected, as the U.S. executive order on cybersecurity, the EU's DORA, and NIS2 all push organizations toward formal, auditable records of their cryptographic assets. These mandates offer the push organizations need to build CBOMs now, but IDC sees this as a part of a greater move toward demonstrating trust.

IDC MarketScape: Worldwide AI-Enabled Operational ERP 2026 Vendor Assessment

Mickey North Rizza, Sarah Lee, Bo Lykkegaard — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC study provides a thorough assessment of the worldwide AI-enabled operational ERP applications market and discusses the most important criteria for companies to consider when selecting a solution.

"AI-enabled operational ERP systems are a hot topic, with strong investments in 2026. Organizations are desperately working to improve the integration of financials in operations, and AI-enabled operational ERP technology does just that," said Mickey North Rizza, Group VP, Enterprise Software at IDC. "Vendors are working at all levels across industries, functions, and workflows, as well as with their ecosystem partners, to create an AI-enabled experience for end users. It comes down to selecting the vendors that meet the organization at its level of comfort and readiness and align with its road map, so that they can move together into the AI world."

IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Agentic Marketing for Midmarket Organizations 2026 Vendor Assessment

Roger Beharry Lall — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC MarketScape evaluates agentic marketing platforms available to midsize organizations and provides essential guidance for technology leaders in this segment. Midsize marketing teams typically run several tools across content, campaigns, and channels acquired at different times for different reasons and are looking for platforms that can coordinate that sprawl rather than add to it. This study defines the market, evaluates vendors serving midsize buyers and assesses how well current platforms handle multi-agent coordination and independent learning across channels, which are the capabilities that most affect a growing marketing team's ability to scale without adding headcount. IDC finds meaningful progress on integration and orchestration since the 2025 assessment of this segment, alongside a persistent gap in agents that improve their own performance over time without manual retraining. Midsize buyers should weigh both dimensions carefully when selecting a platform built to grow with them.

"Midsize buyers want a platform priced for their budget, built for how a midsized team actually works, and simple enough that value shows up in the first quarter instead of the fifth," says Roger Beharry Lall, research director on advertising technologies and SMB marketing applications, IDC.

IDC Survey Spotlight: How Do B2B Buyers Across Market Segments Use Social Channels?

Sudhir Rajagopal — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey Spotlight examines how B2B buyers across three company size segments, small business, midmarket, and large enterprise, use social and community platforms throughout the technology buying journey. Drawing on IDC’s May 2026 Tech Buyer Behavior Survey (n = 413), the analysis finds that while social media reach is nearly universal, with video (YouTube) the single-most used channel across all segments, the underlying purpose diverges by buyer purpose and company size. For marketing leaders and CMOs, the implication is to segment their social channel spend by both buyer segment and life-cycle stage in the buyer journey.
