Summary

This IDC study looks at the performance of the Japan tape drive and tape automation markets between 1H06 and 1H07, and provides forecasts for the 2007 through 2011. The markets are sized and forecasts based on revenue, unit shipments, and platform. Tape drive shipments are sized and forecast by capacity. Meanwhile, tape automation shipments are sized and forecast by the number of cartridge equipped. The tape technologies covered include half-inch cartridge (3480-3490, 3590, 3592, TS1120, 9840-9940/T10000), LTO, DLT/SDLT, 8mm, AIT/SAIT, DDS/DAT, SLR, Travan, DLT-1, VXA.

"Japan companies are shifting rapidly toward disk-based backup and this has rocked the position of tape storage. Amid this trend, it is getting more and more important for Japan tape storage suppliers to attract new customers while it continues to promote tape storage investments among existing users in order to develop their businesses in the future,"observes Ayuchi Takamatsu, Research Analyst, Storage systems, IDC Japan.
