Gartner previously analyzed data from a lot, such as the Gartner 19Q1 Analysis of the pattern of global external storage market , which are mainly about hardware. But now is a software for the king's age, so today we chat software, especially the SDS.
No public knowledge of high-end storage
If the hardware compared to men, then the software is a woman, only the hardware is incomplete. Friends around me, almost all of them are "bronchitis" (henpecked), therefore, the hardware (men) might not have the money, but the software (woman) certainly still rich.
Therefore, we look at the data to Gartner, IT software market, IBM is not only growth, other companies are growing, and the market volume is 427.6 billion US dollars, so the general volume, the growth rate is still above 13%.
The above data should be 18 throughout the year, but do not know why Gartner mark in July 2018 of the data in the back, I think it should be fishes in July 2019, it is estimated after the updated data forget to change the date.
Let's look at our most concerned about storage management software (here storage management is a very broad concept, we say that the SDS are in it).
We see that the total storage management software market space is about 16.2 billion US dollars, an annual growth rate of 4.7%. Which Dell EMC first, accounting for 17.3%, close to 28 billion dollars. Second place was IBM, then Veritas, however, Veritas revenue fell. Inside decline in manufacturers there HPE. The company is the fastest growing VMware, an increase of 52.8%, with sales of about 270 million US dollars, in fact, the product is mainly vSAN, software sold this scale, not satisfied.
Storage management software is too big, we need to split it and see market segment.
Let's take a look at the archive software market.
Archiving software market space of $ 2.2 billion, a slight decline in the market. Common Archiving mail archiving, file archiving and database archiving these scenes, I think mainly affected public clouds it, a lot of the data on the public cloud, anyway, cheaper storage space, there has been there, is not filed. Anyway, in the Chinese market, users rarely see the purchase of specialized archiving software, unless traditional business with a physical tape library. We see, Dell EMC sales fell by half, led by the market. It is the market leader Veritas, market share was 10%, indicating that the market is very fragmented.
But the backup software and recovery software market, this market is much bigger than the archive, reaching 6.4 billion US dollars, and the annual growth rate of 6.8%. Veritas share of more than 1/5 of Big Brother, but still growing, but did not outperform, continue to lose market share. Dell EMC Second, is growing rapidly. The biggest winner should Veeam, ranked third, and the highest growth rate, 16.4%. With the implementation of various laws and regulations such as the GDPR, I expect the recovery market will continue to grow. Now, however, such as the rise of Cohesity and Rubrik second storage vendors, it will erode this market. They more sales model is the use of one machine, so a lot of the inside should be considered in the hardware market.
As for data replication software market, space is only 2.2 billion US dollars, the market slipped slightly. NetApp's share in this market more than a third, more surprisingly, it is estimated that Data Fabric architecture is more popular, many users are used to construct hybrid cloud solutions, as well as, we prefer to use the file copy it. Followed by Dell EMC and IBM, but they are in decline.
File analysis software, the market is 290 million dollars, not much, but still 8.3% growth. The market is fragmented, Name the only vendor Veritas, the share of less than 4%, and sales fell by half. The market has a lot of small Startup companies, but the market space is too small, not big.
So excited, and finally turn iSDS the market.
18 years in this market space is 1.7 billion dollars, it does not seem oh. But at least, the growth rate is very high, close to 30% of the. But a look at how the boss or Dell EMC ah, but the share of over 40%. Editor's Note? My initial analysis of a moment, the main product is the whole family ah. Distributed File although Isilon is selling hardware, but its software license should be considered a software object storage ECS should have a lot of pure software delivery, plus the original distributed block ScaleIO, now called VFlex OS, distributed file , objects and block all here. Also, the end of which are stored Unity and other software-only version, it is said to have sold a lot, which are considered as iSDS no requirement must be distributed. Therefore, this boss is actually the whole product, and consequently have strong sales ability. However, more than 40% of the proportion is still very frightening. As for the second VMware, Dell or people holding it is that great vSAN, the third is the Hitachi, this strange, Hitachi object store to sell so much yet? I feel it should be a lot of software functions License fees are considered high-end storage over it. Inside we see some SDS startups, such as Nexenta, sales of 50 million US dollars, is now DDN acquired. SwiftStack do object stores, sales of $ 40 million, close to 30% growth. DataCore this veteran of the SDS company, this sales of only 37 million US dollars. The RedHat sales of only 36 million US dollars, the main products should be GlusterFS and Ceph it, sales is not high, it seems we all go with the open source version.
In fact, the personal feeling Gartner data should underestimate the Chinese market. Chinese market, SDS space in the IDC report which is still quite high, see IDC 19Q1 SDS data release, changes in market structure intensified . Therefore, the feeling can refer to the global market, the domestic market would be no need to see the data of Gartner.
After reading iSDS, we take a look mSDS.
This market space of about 1.7 billion, is still slow growth. Dell EMC, NetApp and Veritas share three of more than 20%. I think a lot of heterogeneous virtualization software vendors should be considered here, such as software-only version of EMC vplex and IBM SVC, NetApp virtualization of license, etc., Veritas should be infoScale.
Finally, look at the situation of SRM, IBM's share of this is the highest. The entire market space less than 600 million dollars, but also in decline.
After reading storage management software, here the way I would like to share some facts and storage-related OS, DBMS and virtualization software.
Let's look at the situation DBMS.
Overall DBMS market 46 billion US dollars, big ah, the key growth rate was 18.4%, still high growth ah. Amazon high growth rates, has also been ranked third in total, more than IBM. China's Alibaba also made the list, with sales of $ 460 million.
Operating system, did not think the market is also getting bigger (mainly client OS market), 32.8 billion, but the growth rate as high as 16.2%. Microsoft a dominant share of over 80%, and the growth rate of close to 20%, really powerful. RedHat than IBM, but the two of them is now a. It noted that the sales, not the market, because Linux is open source, so many will not generate sales, such as the server OS which, in fact, Linux and Windows are similar, from the number of terms.
In this virtual infrastructure software, it is mainly server virtualization and VDI this, 6.7 billion market space, but also to maintain nearly 5% growth. VMware, a dominant, accounting for 72.6% share. The second is Citrix, accounting for 25%. Behind the company did not exceed 1%, but there are many Chinese companies. Few RedHat revenue, only 31 million.
Well, just share them. happy weekend.
