Donnerstag, 6. Dezember 2007 um 15:31

Laut dem IT-Marktforschungs- und Beratungsunternehmen Gartner erreichte der weltweite Umsatz für externe Plattenspeichersysteme (external controller-based disk storage, ECB)im dritten Quartal 3,9 Milliarden US-Dollar. Dies entspricht einem Anstieg von 3,4 Prozent gegenüber dem Vorjahreszeitraum. EMC liegt weiterhin auf dem ersten Platz und beendete das Quartal mit 25,8 Prozent Marktanteil. Auf den Plätzen 2 und 3 folgen IBM mit 14,6 Prozent und Hewlett-Packard mit 12,6 Prozent.

In Europa, dem Nahen Osten und Afrika (EMEA) erreichte der Umsatz für externe Plattenspeichersysteme im dritten Quartal 1,2 Milliarden US-Dollar. Dies entspricht einem Anstieg von 5,3 Prozent gegenüber dem Vorjahreszeitraum. “Dieses Quartal zeigte bis dato die beste Performance im Jahr 2007”, erklärt Robin Burke, Research Vice President bei Gartner.

STAMFORD, Conn., December 5, 2007 — Worldwide external controller-based (ECB) disk storage revenue totaled $3.9 billion in the third quarter of 2007, a 3.4 percent increase over the same period in 2006, according to Gartner, Inc.

EMC maintained the No. 1 spot overall, finishing the quarter at 25.8 percent market share (see Table 1). IBM was in second place with 14.6 percent of the market followed by Hewlett-Packard with 12.6 percent. Hitachi/HDS took back its fourth place spot with 9.7 percent market share. Dell dropped to the No. 5 spot with 8.7 percent share. However, Dell showed the strongest growth year-over-year among the top-tier vendors, with 23.3 percent revenue growth for the quarter. NetApp maintained its No. 6 spot with a market share of 7.3 percent. Sun Microsystems rounded out the top vendors, remaining in the No. 7 spot with 4.2 percent market share. The “Other” vendors increased their share of the market by 8.9 percent year-over-year, accounting for 17 percent of worldwide revenue in the third quarter.

The Asia/Pacific (AP) region increased its revenue by 22.7 percent year-over-year. The growth in AP is widely distributed amongst several countries, including India, Australia, Taiwan, and China. “Distributed growth is a positive indication of vendors’ commitment in the region,” said Donna Taylor, principal analyst for Gartner’s global Storage Quarterly Statistics program. “While each country is unique, vendors are better positioned to leverage existing relationships.”

In Europe, Middle East and Africa, the external controller-based disk storage revenue totaled $1.2 billion in the third quarter of 2007, a 5.3 percent increase over the same period in 2006.

“To date, this quarter has exhibited the best performance in 2007,” said Robin Burke, research vice-president at Gartner.

EMC maintained its leadership position for the third consecutive quarter with a market share of 26 percent with all product lines showing growth over the previous quarter. The 6 per cent year-over-year revenue growth was driven by the DMX series at the high-end after last quarter’s overall poor performance, when all vendors showed a decline in revenue in high-end ($500,000 and above) sales.

Although Dell showed a 45.7 percent revenue increase compared with the same period last year, the company’s revenue only grew 2.8 percent from the second quarter of 2007. This said, Dell climbed to No. 4 position which saw NetApp step down to No. 5 position. Fujitsu Siemens Computers was the additional vendor exhibiting year-over-year double digit revenue growth at 15.8 percent.
