Summary

This IDC study provides a top-down sizing of the storage software market in 2007 and an update to the 2008-2012 forecast issued in May 2008 for this market. Forecasts are provided for the total market by geographic region and by operating environment.

"With expectations that the economy will have an effect on storage software spending, IDC has adjusted its forecast for this market to increase to $16.2 billion by 2012, with a 7.9% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2007 through 2012," said Laura DuBois, program director for IDC's Storage Software. "However, we do see investment in software functionality to help curb storage growth and offset increasing storage costs by offering relief through compressing capital and operating budgets while storage capacity increases continue."
