Summary

This IDC study provides detailed analysis, conclusions, and forecasts regarding the dynamics of disk storage market within Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Bahrain. The information in this study is intended to provide an understanding of the changes and opportunities facing the storage industry in these emerging markets. Our 2006 figures and analysis are based on information gathered from interviews with the leading IT companies (vendors, distributors, assemblers, system integrators, value-added resellers) in the markets.

"The strong economy in the Gulf States is attracting foreign investment and driving the rapid development of the business sector (particularly the finance and telecommunications markets). This, in turn, is fueling demand for external disk storage. To succeed in the region, vendors must tailor their storage products to their target market segments, particularly as the Gulf market will become increasingly competitive over the next five years." - Senior Research Analyst Simon Day, IDC CEMA
