Abstract
Summary
The consumer network storage space is becoming quite crowded, especially with
an additional segment of Windows Home Server products- many of which have not
appeared in the market yet. As the number of home networks continues to grow,
sound opportunities exist for vendors to capture in this space that includes
NAS, SAN, NDAS, and Windows Home Server platforms. In addition, those who have
established networks are looking to add more storage capacity that is readily
available to multiple computers in the household. But, crucial roadblocks
remain for the consumer network storage space, complexity, and understanding.
Vendors had been waiting for consumers to catch up with their home network
storage offerings, but that has begun to change. We believe that 2008 will be
a conservative year for consumer shoppers, in light of the economic concerns.
It is most likely that this will impact North America more than other regions.
This global report includes forecasts through 2012 for each market
segmentation by region, price tier, and storage capacity, in addition to wired
vs. wireless LAN segments, and provides discussions about consumer network
storage market trends, technology trends, suppliers, and 2007 worldwide vendor
market shares. In addition, a detailed vendor matrix of product lines, models,
and features is also provided.
