Abstract
This IDC study provides a bottom-up sizing of the APEJ storage solutions market
(including software, hardware, and services) for 2005 in addition to a
2006-2010 forecast. Historical and forecast revenue data are shown by
functional market. A brief description of the market dynamics shaping the
storage solutions market in APEJ is also included.
"The storage market is still evolving, fueled by the explosive growth of data
created, transacted, stored, archived, and even deleted from IT systems and
applications. While the focus has historically been on the hardware aspect to
solving an organization' s storage requirements, IDC expects to see
organizations across APEJ look to software and services to manage their
information assets. In addition, IDC expects the growing focus on information
management, compliance, and standards to become critical drivers for the
storage software market in APEJ throughout the forecast period. Software
enables greater visibility of an organization' s information assets throughout
their life cycle from creation to expiration. It also helps provide reporting
functionalities and added control, which is important for ensuring compliance
with legal and corporate regulatory requirements," says Graham Penn, associate
vice president, Asia/Pacific Storage, IDC Australia.
