LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global data center storage market report until 2020. This research report also lists 25 other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.
Competitive vendor landscape
According to the report, competition among existing storage players is very high owing to the increase in data generated and processed by enterprises. Over the years, several innovations have been witnessed with regard to the scalability and performance of storage systems in data centers. The use of flash-based storage is increasing among data centers owing to increased business needs. Storage area network (SAN) is the commonly adopted storage system among data center operators, while network-attached storage (NAS) and direct-attached storage (DAS) systems are adopted less comparatively. The adoption criterion varies based on the business data processing needs.
“Almost all the vendors in the storage market offer SAN, NAS, and DAS storage with few already experiencing increased revenue through the use of flash-based storage systems and others continuing innovations in existing and advanced systems specific to business needs. EMC is the leading vendor in the storage space with a market share of 28%-30% because of the increased adoption of its storage portfolio products coupled with VMware solutions and SDS-enabled infrastructure offerings,” says Rajesh Kumar Panda, lead data center analyst from Technavio.
The competition in the market is increasing owing to the innovations in SDS, where EMC has an edge over VMware. In addition, the acquisition of EMC by Dell, which is currently in progress, will have a positive impact on the market in the forecast period as their market share would increase.
