04 Dec 2015

FRAMINGHAM, Mass., December 4, 2015 – Total worldwide enterprise storage systems factory revenue grew 2.8% year over year to \$9.1 billion during the third quarter of 2015 (3Q15), according to the International Data Corporation (IDC ) Worldwide Quarterly Disk Storage Systems Tracker . Total capacity shipments were up 31.5% year over year to 33.1 exabytes during the quarter. Revenue growth was strongest within the group of original design manufacturers (ODMs) that sell directly to hyperscale datacenters. This portion of the market was up 23.4% year over year to \$1.3 billion. Sales of server-based storage were up 9.9% during the quarter and accounted for \$2.1 billion in revenue. External storage systems remained the largest market segment, but the \$5.8 billion in sales represented a decline of -3.1% year over year.

"The enterprise storage market continued to follow a consistent trend in the third quarter of 2015," said Liz Conner , Research Manager, Storage . "Spending on traditional external arrays declined during the quarter as infrastructure refresh, coupled with the demand for software-defined storage and cloud-based storage, drove investments more heavily in server-based storage and hyperscale infrastructure."
