Dell EMC Remains No. 1 in IDC's Quarterly Converged Systems Market

For the full year 2016, the #hyperconverged system market surpassed $2.2 billion in global revenue, up 110 percent compared to 2015. As IDC data reported, #DellEMC was the fastest-growing hyperconverged system market vendor, growing revenue at a whopping 206 percent in 4Q 2016 year over year, based on the sales of #VxRail Appliances, #VxRack Systems and the #XC Series. Taking a look at IDC tables for 4Q 2016, Dell EMC held a 17 percent market share of the hyperconverged system market, behind only #Nutanix (20 percent), who together were distantly followed by #H3C (3 percent), #HPE (2 percent) and #SimpliVity (2 percent) among named vendors. "The converged systems market is going through a period of change," said Eric Sheppard, research director, enterprise storage and converged systems. "We are seeing strong growth from products with new architectures, increased levels of automation, and heavy use of software-defined technologies. "This growth has been offset by reduced spending on traditional converged systems and a conscious decision by some vendors to terminate some parts of their product portfolio."
