全球磁帶儲存系統市場：2008年至2012年的預測及分析、2007年的銷售企業市佔率

Abstract

This IDC study analyzes and summarizes the market trends in the tape drive industry and its vendors, and it provides actual quarterly shipment data for 2005, 2006, and 2007. The study covers tape drive forecasts for revenue, shipment volume, and average sales values (ASVs) for 2008-2012 and summarizes various metrics (e.g., capacity, ASVs, and vendor shares) specific to each market segment. Finally, the study offers near-term and long-term expectations for demand, vendor execution, and industry dynamics, as well as suggested strategies for industry participants.

"IDC expects that removable disk backup products will likely put additional pressure on tape drives, particularly in the entry and low-end markets. However, we expect virtual tape libraries (VTLs) will augment midrange and enterprise tape drives, especially in tape libraries and automation. We believe the economics of high-capacity tape drives are well suited to deep archive and tiered storage applications," said Robert Amatruda, research director, Tape and Removable Storage, at IDC.
