According to a newly released report by market analyst firm IDC, the first quarter of 2016 was an unusual time for storage sales:
It was a quarter in which only one major vendor showed actual year-over-year growth, and in which a surprise legacy vendor completely blew the doors off its competitors in terms of all-flash storage growth.It was a quarter in which storage vendor revenue declined, as is typical, while the amount of capacity sold also declined, which is atypical.The quarter also saw server-based storage sales grow while external storage systems sales fell.
CRN looks behind the numbers from IDC's Worldwide Quarterly #EnterpriseStorage Systems Tracker to help shed light on what is happening as the storage industry shifts from legacy hard disk-based solutions to flash storage and an emphasis on software-defined storage.
