Introduction

Abstract

This IDC study, which is a translation of the Japanese report IDC #J10510102, analyzes the trend of block-level virtualization in the Japan storage market. It presents an analysis of the implementation status of block-level virtualization and user issues in Japan, as well as an observation of the penetration scenario until 2013. The Japan block-level virtualization market is divided into the heterogeneous block-level virtualization and embedded block-level virtualization segments. This IDC study calculates the respective virtualized capacity of each segment and also provides forecasts up to 2013.

"The penetration of block-level virtualization will bring new business opportunities to storage vendors but on the other hand, it may also have a negative impact on traditional business models. Storage vendors must understand the impact of the penetration of block-level virtualization on their businesses and incorporate this in their business model reforms in the virtualization era," says Masaaki Moriyama, group director, IDC Japan.
