Glory days... not really. IDC sees the purpose-built backup appliance (PBBA) market shrinking in the third 2016 quarter, by almost 8 per cent on an annual basis, to $737.5mn. This is the market dominated by #DellEMC ’s #DataDomain products. And it seems to be affected, like storage arrays, by an enterprise buying slowdown. The company’s storage systems research manager, Liz Connor, is quoted as saying: “The PBBA market closed out the third quarter on a downturn, following a similar trend as the enterprise storage systems markets. Spending in more mature geographies saw a decline, while the market saw favourable growth in emerging markets. Meanwhile the shift in spending away from commodity hardware continues, with PBBA software spending taking market share." Dell EMC saw the largest revenue share drop of 14.9 per cent to $444.9m. Other share-fallers were #Veritas, which was previously #Symantec up to the final 2015 quarter, and #HPE. #IBM gained a 5.7 per cent revenue share with a massive 42 per cent annual rise.
