Gartner: External storage market out of economic crisis

According to foreign media reports, according to Gartner's research data, the external memory market has emerged from the global economic crisis; the market's revenue in 2010 was 19.4 billion US dollars, which has exceeded the 2008 sales record.

Gartner analyst Roger Cox said that enterprise and server vendors are adding more investment in external storage because they are building virtual servers and cloud computing services. The backup migration from tape to disk also helped the market.

Analysts also said that the reduction in demand caused by the economic slowdown in 2009 has also been released. In addition, the growth of the external memory market in China and India has effectively helped the global market stabilize and pick up. According to Gartner's data, the cost of file storage platforms has grown far faster than modular systems, although the latter is still the largest segment of the market. From 2009 to 2010, the sales of file external storage systems increased by 36.2%; while the growth rate of modular storage systems was only 14.9%. Roger Cox stated that many companies are deploying file storage systems to handle unstructured data, such as digital media and medical record scans; today's growth in this area is much faster than modular content such as data warehousing. Moreover, the file storage system is also more suitable for virtualization. In a virtual server environment, the file storage system is more convenient to manage, install, and use. . Overall, the external controller storage market in 2010 increased by 18.1% compared to 2009. In 2009, it achieved revenue of 16.5 billion U.S. dollars, and 2008 revenue was 18 billion U.S. dollars. According to Gartner's data, sales growth in the fourth quarter of 2010 was very significant, an increase of 16% compared to the same period in 20009.

Gartner's data shows that NetApp's revenue has increased by nearly 51%, and its market share in 2010 was 10.7%. Cox said it is difficult to say whether the company's strategy is right or wrong. They provide modular storage, file storage systems, and virtualized storage. The company also has a very important position in unified storage.
