World storage software market grows 1.2%

The world storage software market has grown 1.2 per cent in the last three months, although it is still 7.9 per cent smaller than during the same quarter in 2008.

New figures published by IDC suggest that the market was barely able to maintain a positive sequential growth rate during July, August and September and that only a few vendors experienced a sales expansion.

Michael Margossian, research analyst for storage software at the firm, claims that two out of three top sellers in the data protection and recovery market experienced positive growth, which could interest those in IT jobs in these sectors.

He states: 'Symantec is still the market leader, with 31.1 per cent market share, and IBM and EMC having 14.1 per cent and 12.8 per cent market share respectively.'

Earlier this month, IDC reported that there are signs of a turnaround in the enterprise storage systems market, which could interest those looking at IT jobs.
