EMEA External Enterprise Storage Systems Market Shares, 2022: Market Shows Fast Growth for Second-Straight Year, Fueled by All-Flash and Software-Defined Storage

This IDC Market Share provides a brief overview of the performance of the EMEA external enterprise storage systems market in 2022."A year ago, IDC was confident that 2022 would be a turning point in the EMEA external enterprise storage market, with over 50% of revenue coming from all-flash arrays," said Luis Fernandes, senior research manager, IDC EMEA Future of Digital Infrastructure. "Now, we expect demand for AFA systems to remain strong and increase. New data-intensive workloads such as analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning will require more dedicated storage capacity and dedicated performance. That, combined with the narrowing of price per terabyte between flash and rotating disk, will drive adoption of AFA systems at a faster pace. Vendors that remain focused on their sales to order to production to delivery in 2023, that is, those that optimize their supply chains, should have a smoother year."
