Worldwide
Quarterly Storage Software Tracker, the worldwide storage software

(up 10.6%), and NetApp (up 6.0%)”
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.
