Synopsis

Abstract

This IDC study provides a forecast for spending in the Canadian storage systems market through 2012. Reviewing the underlying technological and market forces that shape this environment, IDC provides guidance to storage system vendors to assist in targeting growth areas of the market. The evolution of the Canadian storage marketplace, away from direct-attached silos to a networked storage environment continues in Canada. The next wave of consolidation and virtualization is cautiously poised for take-off.

"The migration to networked storage, fueled by server virtualization and the desire for more efficient and resilient storage systems, is the single most important force shaping the Canadian storage market. Vendor success will come to those vendors that make the most compelling case for a simple transition away from direct-attached storage. The pending wave of virtualization is the next evolution as organizations look to address the chronic underutilization and increased management complexity of installed storage infrastructure." ? Philip Barnes, IDC senior research analyst, Storage Market.
