This IDC study (a translation of the Japanese document IDC #J12430106) looks at the performance of the Japan disk storage systems market for 2005–2011 and presents forecast for 2012–2016, based on capacity shipments (block-based capacity and file-based capacity). In this report, we also analyze the growth potential of file-based storage (or file storage). Using the results of an IDC survey, we analyze the implementation rates of file storage, the issues involved, and the use of new technologies related to file storage among enterprises in Japan.

"In the file storage market of high growth potential, it is important for storage vendors not to compete on individual products and solutions but differentiate themselves by developing file storage management frameworks," says Masaaki Moriyama, group director, IDC Japan.
