Disk Storage Systems Market Sustains Strong Double-Digit Growth Across All Sectors in Second Quarter, According to IDC
FRAMINGHAM, Mass. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Worldwide external disk storage systems factory revenues posted
year-over-year growth of 20.4%, totaling just over $5.0 billion, in the
second quarter of 2010 (2Q10), according to the International Data
Corporation (IDC)
Worldwide
Quarterly Disk Storage Systems Tracker. For the quarter, the total
disk storage systems market grew to $6.8 billion in revenues,
representing 20.7% growth from the prior year's second quarter. Total
disk storage systems capacity shipped reach 3,645 petabytes, growing
54.6% year over year.
"The first half of 2010 showed continued signs of economic recovery in
the disk storage systems market," said Liz
Conner, senior research analyst, Storage
Systems. "The external disk storage systems market grew 18.6% from
the first half of 2009 in terms of factory revenue and 3.0% from the
second half of 2009. Although the first half of 2009 was extremely weak
due to the economic crisis, the gain from a relatively strong second
half of 2009 shows continued customer investment and importance placed
in the storage systems market."
Total External Disk Storage Systems
EMC maintained its lead in the external disk storage systems market with
25.7% revenue share in the second quarter, followed by IBM in second
with 13.6% market share. NetApp and HP are in a statistical tie* for
third place with 11.4% and 11.3% market share respectively. Dell ended
in the fifth position with 9.4% market share. Given the recent interest
in 3PAR, IDC notes that for 2Q10, 3PAR's share in the total external
disk storage systems market was 0.58%.
Open Networked Disk Storage Systems
The total open networked disk storage market (NAS Combined with Open /
iSCSI SAN) grew 29.2% year over year in the second quarter to $4.2
billion in revenues. EMC continues to maintain its leadership in the
total open networked storage market with 28.9% revenue share, followed
by NetApp with a 13.6% revenue share.
In the Open SAN market, which grew 21.8% year over year, EMC was the
leading vendor with 21.8% revenue share, followed by IBM in second and
HP in third with 15.9% and 14.8% share, respectively.
The NAS market grew 51.1% year over year, led by EMC with 45.6% revenue
share and followed by NetApp with 25.2% share. The iSCSI SAN market
continues to show strong momentum, posting 49.0% revenue growth compared
to the prior year's quarter. Dell led the market with 32.9% revenue
share, followed by HP, NetApp, and EMC, all in a statistical tie* for
second, with 14.2%, 13.4%, and 13.3% market share respectively.
"The recent economic crisis had greatly affected the upper mid-range and
high-end storage market," said Amita Potnis, senior research analyst, Storage
Systems. "The second quarter saw a good recovery of the upper
mid-range (PB $100K-$249.99K) and high-end (PB $250K+) storage market
with year-over-year growth of 30.5%. The recovery in this segment was
driven by NAS and SAN system sales, which grew 58.4% and 30.2%
respectively, exceeding the overall market growth. It appears, however,
that the market is heading toward a more cautious growth path going
forward."

Taxonomy Notes:
IDC defines a Disk Storage System as a set of storage elements,
including controllers, cables, and (in some instances) host bus
adapters, associated with three or more disks. A system may be located
outside of or within a server cabinet and the average cost of the disk
storage systems does not include infrastructure storage hardware (i.e.
switches) and non-bundled storage software.
The information in this quantitative study is based on a branded view of
the disk storage systems sale. Revenue associated with the products to
the end user is attributed to the seller (brand) of the product, not the
manufacturer. Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) sales are not
included in this study. In this study, Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) sales
do not reflect their OEM sales to Sun Microsystems and Hewlett-Packard.
IDC's Worldwide Disk Storage Systems Quarterly Tracker is a quantitative
tool for analyzing the global disk storage market on a quarterly basis.
The Tracker includes quarterly shipments and revenues (both customer and
factory), Terabytes, $/Gigabyte, Gigabyte/Unit, and Average Selling
Value. Each criteria can be segmented by location, installation base,
operating system, vendor, family, model, and region.
