Abstract
This IDC study presents the storage software market in CEE for 2006 and forecasts expenditure on storage software applications through 2011. The study contains market size, vendor market shares, and forecasts for eight functional categories. It also ranks the major storage software providers by their 2006 revenue, and includes a profile of their activities and presence in individual country and vertical markets.
The study aims to answer the following questions:
- What is the current size of the storage software market in CEE?
- Which storage software segments are most important? What is the current focus of spending?
- What are IDC' s projections for spending on storage software and what are the assumptions for forecast numbers? What impact will these have on market developments?
- Who are the market leaders based on license and maintenance revenue and what are their strengths, weaknesses, and strategies for the future?
- Which industry sectors are the most important sources of demand for storage software applications? What are the future trends in this area?
"Reliability and business continuity has become a major issue in the storage arena. The ability to rapidly recover or replicate after a disaster can be crucial in terms of avoiding losses. While most large enterprises should have disaster recovery plans and solutions in place at their headquarters, the coming years should see this being extended to branch offices, as well as into the mid-market." - Mark Child, Research Analyst, IDC CEMA
