Description

Worldwide and U.S. External Enterprise Storage Systems Forecast, 2024–2028


This IDC study provides historical data (2019–2023) and forecast data (2024–2028) for the worldwide and U.S. external enterprise storage systems markets. The forecast represents an annual view of the quarterly forecasts released in March 2024 in IDC's 4Q23 Worldwide Quarterly Enterprise Storage Systems Tracker. The forecast and historical data focus on end-user consumption in three categories of enterprise storage systems — external original equipment manufacturer (OEM), internal OEM, and "other," which covers cumulative shipments of systems sold directly to customers by original design manufacturers (ODMs). For each of these categories, IDC has estimated value (end-user spending), terabytes, and price per gigabyte."While the external ESS market experienced temporary hiccups in 2023, the fundamentals for storage demand remain strong," says Natalya Yezhkova, research vice president, Enterprise and Emerging Workloads, IDC. "Demand for digital storage isn't slowing down, and expansion of as-a-service consumption models and broader adoption of hybrid multicloud infrastructure and AI and high-performance workloads all contribute to this demand."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
