New Storage Market Landscape Study Compares Planned Adoption to
Spending Intention of Key Storage Technologies Based on Responses from
More than 550 Storage Decision-Makers
Technology media and intelligence company TechTarget (NASDAQ: TTGT)
today announced the release of its semi-annual Storage Market Landscape
StudyTM published by TechTarget ResearchTM which
shows that Hyper-Converged Infrastructure has a significant amount of
planned adoption over the next 24 months in the enterprise data center.
Fielded in Q3 2015, the findings are based on first party insight
derived from in-depth interviews with decision-makers and are focused on
technology roadmaps, vendor performance and forward-looking spending
plans for the Storage industry. The report features a composition of
over 550 global respondents from a blend of large enterprises (more than
$2 billion in revenue) along with Mid-sized and SMB organizations.
“Our inaugural Market Landscape study clearly showcases changes
underfoot in Storage and overall enterprise IT Infrastructure as 2015
comes to a close,” notes Ken Male, Senior Vice President and General
Manager, TechTarget Research. “A large percentage of spend is still with
traditional technologies that for the most part have been installed for
10+ years, however the roadmaps clearly show planned adoption of
technologies that move away from proprietary array architectures
vis-a-vis Cloud, Software-Defined and Hyper-Converged Infrastructure,”
continued Male.
Key Report highlights
TechTarget Storage Technology Momentum Index™: The Storage
Momentum Index™ stack ranks technologies. Those with the most “net new”
planned implementations over the next 24 months, paired with a low
adoption rate, have the highest momentum. A hallmark of the research
process is the capturing of the vendors that are in use and in plan. As
of Q3 2015, Hyper-Converged Infrastructure is in the top spot, with
Nutanix poised to benefit the most, followed by EMC and HPE. Rounding
out the top 5 technologies in the index are Software-Defined Storage,
Public Cloud Storage (Backup & Recovery), All Flash Arrays, and Public
Cloud Storage (Primary). Detailed below are select lead vendors in plan
in each of the top 5 technologies.

TechTarget Storage Spending Index™: The Storage Spending Index™
is a financial measure that factors in size of annual spend, frequency
of spend, planned spending increase over the next 12 months and breadth
of deployment for each technology in the Market Landscape Study. Unified
Storage, Fibre Channel (FC) SAN and Data Protection are all widely
deployed, and garner significant spend year over year that is still
increasing. These dynamics have them leading for spending intensity as
we exit 2015, however All Flash Arrays and Public Cloud fare well in the
Spending Index as their adoption, frequency of spend and budget share
becomes more pervasive.
“By capturing both intent and transaction data, TechTarget Research is
able to identify when budget and share shifts are taking place and
overlay the vendors that are garnering mindshare,” said Male. “This
research provides a valuable decision support and peer benchmarking
platform for enterprise IT decision-makers as they deploy new
technologies and evaluate the vendor landscape.”
Vendors covered in this report include: EMC (NYSE: EMC), NetApp (NASDAQ:
NTAP), IBM (NYSE: IBM), HPE (NYSE: HPE), Dell, HDS, Violin Memory
(NASDAQ: VMEM), Nimble Storage (NASDAQ: NMBL), Pure Storage
(NASDAQ:PSTG), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) , Google (NASDAQ: GOOG ) SolidFire,
Kaminario, Tegile, Nimbus Data, Nutanix, Simplivity, Tintri, VMware
(NASDAQ: VMW), Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL), VCE, Western Digital (NASDAQ:WDC)
and others.

on a semi-annual basis. If you are interested in getting more
