Dell EMC’s Rocket Ship in All Flash: Dell EMC Shipped Over an Exabyte of All Flash in 2016 – 2x Share of the Closest Competitor

During 2016, the “Year of All Flash”, #DellEMC shipped more than an #Exabyte of all-flash array capacity[i]. As a market and innovation leader in enterprise storage for decades – Dell EMC ironically was considered to be a bit late to the ‘  #AllFlash ’ storage market. Today we’re taking share from our competitors and growing revenues faster than the all-flash storage market according to IDC. #DellTechnologies’ all-flash revenue growth is 72.1%, versus the 61.2% growth for the overall all-flash storage market[ii]. In fact, this month marks the one-year anniversary of Dell EMC’s #VMAX All Flash array. In 2016, we introduced the VMAX 450F and VMAX 850F then the VMAX 250F, inline compression and non-disruptive migration. During this transformative year, the VMAX business grew bookings of VMAX All Flash from 21% in Q1 2016 to approximately 70% in Q3, 2016 with continued progress in Q4.[iii] Thanks to a powerful portfolio of VMAX All Flash, XtremIO and Unity All Flash, Dell EMC has expanded its position as the undisputed leader of the all-flash enterprise storage market with greater than 2x the market share of the closest all-flash array vendor. This is according to the latest results of IDC’s Enterprise Storage Systems Tracker published on March 3, which labels Dell EMC as Dell Technologies.[iv]
