Worldwide external controller-based (ECB) disk storage revenue totaled $18 billion in 2008, an 11.3 percent increase over 2007 revenue of $16.2 billion, according to Gartner, Inc.
“The double-digit full year growth rate of 11.3 percent is all the more impressive given the current economic downturn and demonstrates the resilience of the storage industry,” said Donna Taylor, principal research analyst for Gartner’s global Storage Quarterly Statistics program.
There were no market share leadership changes compared with last year. EMC maintained its No.1 position with 25 percent revenue market share. IBM placed second with 13.6 percent, and Hewlett-Packard came in third with 11.6 percent. Hitachi/Hitachi Data Systems placed fourth with 9.2 percent, followed by Dell with 8.8 percent. NetApp and Sun Microsystems placed sixth and seventh, respectively, with 7.8 percent and 5.2 percent market share. Dell showed the strongest growth year-on-year at 15.5 percent.
