Storage
touches every aspect of our businesses, as well as our personal lives.
Our digital universe continues to grow at phenomenal rates, and quite
frankly, we are having a tough time keeping up with it. Storage
hardware and software are at the center of enterprise IT discussions
around consolidation, efficiency, power and cooling, backup/archive,
security, virtualization, and information management – just
to name a few. And on the personal side? Today, there are more
terabytes being shipped into personal storage than into enterprise
storage, and everyday consumers are having loads of issues just
managing and protecting their digital assets. Finally, with
solid state drives all the rage, there are implications to the
semiconductor industry, not to mention the future transitions to faster
networking protocols like Infiniband and beyond. There's never been a
better time to be involved in the storage industry than today." - David
Reinsel, Group Vice President, Storage and Semiconductor
Research at IDC.

Storage Comes Home, Not Without Some Difficulty
Even in 2012, about 80 percent of external
drives will lack network capabilities, predicts Wolfgang Schlichting, a
research director at IDC. “Clearly, we are not there yet for
mainstream consumers to feel comfortable or even be able to hook up and
take advantage of these devices,” he said.

Power
& Cooling Costs Top $1B Mark
“Here’s the crux of the
matter -- data center storage requirements are growing at about 55
percent a year, while hard disk drive capacities are growing at 30 to
35 percent a year,” explains IDC analyst David Reinsel, who
wrote the research report. “This means that we’re
putting an abundance of drives into the data center; we’re
having to do a lot more work to cool them down.”

Strong
demand for drives propels storage revenue
The growth in disk-based storage revenue
was healthy despite the slow growth in server shipments, Nisbet said.
The growth will continue to be healthy through 2008 as more data is
generated, said Brad Nisbet, research manager at IDC. "Customers are
making a statement that even in these times of cautious spending, they
really need to invest in devices that store business data," Nisbet said.

Dell Equallogic Solutions simplify storage
According to IDC, shipments of iSCSI-based
storage solutions will increase (worldwide) 138 percent annually over
the next five years.1 “This is twice the growth
we’re seeing in the worldwide disk storage systems
market,” said Benjamin Woo, vice president, Enterprise
Storage Systems at IDC. “Customers are turning to
iSCSI as an easier way to integrate and manage their datacenter
environments. With its investment in EqualLogic and the
expansion of its overall storage portfolio, Dell is clearly positioning
itself to go after this trend.”

Hitachi
introduces two new hard disk drives for advanced home theater systems
designers
“The digital video recorder
market continues to experience robust growth. Shipments of disk drives
for personal video recording applications are expected to grow at a
2007-2012 CAGR of 14%,” according to John Rydning, Research
Director for hard disk drives at IDC. “As well, consumers are
seeking more hours of video recording capacity as they increasingly
switch to high-definition content. Hitachi's new CinemaStar disk drives
hit the mark for delivering higher recording storage capacities while
enabling cool, quiet, and low-power PVR operation.”
