2% decrease from 1Q10, 3% growth from 2Q09, calculates IDC
"The gains in the storage software market in the second quarter were largely the result of overall growth from some of the large suppliers. The growth for the quarter came from EMC (up 13.3% year over year), IBM (up 10.6%), and NetApp (up 6.0%)," said Laura DuBois, program vice president, Storage Software at IDC. "From a segment perspective, growth is coming from spending in four segments of storage software: data protection and recovery (up 4.9% year over year), archiving (up 8.2%), storage management (up 5.8%), and storage infrastructure (up 12.7%)."
The storage software revenue growth of 3.3% is in line with worldwide external disk storage systems factory revenues, which posted year-over-year growth of 20.4%, totaling $5.0 billion in the second quarter of 2010.
Top 5 Vendors, WW Storage Software Revenue
Second Quarter of 2010
(Revenues are in Millions)
Source: IDC Worldwide Quarterly
Storage Software Tracker, Sept 2010.
Notes: Starting in Q2 2007, IBM is reported as the combined entity of IBM and Softek.
Taxonomy Note: IDC has updated its storage software taxonomy to reflect changes in the market over the last several years. The storage software taxonomy includes eight functional markets: data protection and recovery, archiving (including email archiving), storage replication, storage management, storage device management, storage infrastructure, file system, and 'other'.
Our comments :
For an unknown reason, IDC has not published the line "Other Vendors" as usual. We did the subtraction to get $874 million or 29.6% of the total revenues in 2Q10 to be compared with $872 million or 30.4% in 2Q09.
CommVault is not far from the top 6 as the software company recorded $66 million in total revenues for calendar 2Q10.
