According to International Data Corporation (IDC), the United States disk storage systems market represents 39% of the worldwide market. The disk storage systems market in the US grew 5% in 2004 to US$8.8 billion, while terabytes shipped grew 55% to 534,627. This market data clearly shows that the purchase of storage capacity continues to grow at a very fast pace. The factors driving the purchase of data storage solutions are customer requirements in three areas: (1) regulatory compliance and data lifecycle management, (2) accelerating capacity growth and storage consolidation, and (3) the need for enhanced storage area management tools. Hitachi Data Systems Corporation is well positioned to meet customer needs in these areas through sophisticated solutions that combine innovative Hitachi storage systems and software, professional services, and industry partnerships.
