Most large storage systems manufacturers have had a tough year, with product hardware sales falling compared to previous year levels. Low demand for storage hardware coupled with falling prices has primarily driven the decline this year. Global spending on conventional external storage arrays has continued to decline – a trend consistent over the last few years. Comparatively, demand for all-flash storage products was up during the September quarter, in line with industry trends over the past couple of years. #DellEMC, #NetApp, #IBM and #HewlettPackardEnterprise have had a tough year in terms of storage hardware product sales, with revenues falling compared to the previous year period. According to IDC’s latest report, Dell-EMC, NetApp, IBM and HPE reported revenue declines in the high single digits to the mid-teens through the September quarter, as shown in the table below. Comparatively, sales of vendors outside the top five were up by over 9% year over year to $1.6 billion. The industry wide decline in external storage systems stood at 6% to $5.45 billion.
