HOPKINTON, Mass., May 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- EMC Corporation
(NYSE: EMC) today announced a series of all-flash customer and
market share milestones as enterprises around the globe continue to
turn to EMC as their leading provider for all-flash storage
solutions to address a multitude of enterprise needs for
consolidated and mixed workloads and the world's most
performance-intensive enterprise applications.
Led by the blockbuster market entry and sustained rapid growth
of its leading XtremIO® all-flash storage array, EMC has
accelerated its market share lead in all-flash arrays according to
a recently published Quarterly Enterprise Storage System Tracker by
IDC. In the all-flash array market, EMC's leading 40.3%
market share in vendor revenue for CYQ42015 climbed 4.1 percentage
points from the previous year. For the entire calendar year
2015, EMC's 37.7% market share for all flash array vendor revenue
is more than two-and-a-half times the next competitor's market
share.1
This market share increase is reflected across industry
verticals. For example:
- In 2015, 15 of the top 20 Banking & Finance companies on
the Forbes Global 2000 Top Companies list purchased flash solutions
from EMC with a 202% increase in bookings YoY.2
- EMC revenue from Telco, Media & Entertainment companies
grew 316% in 2015 YoY with 19 out of the top 20 companies on the
Forbes Global 2000 Top Companies using EMC® flash
solutions.3
Today's announcement reinforces an industry-wide surge towards
all-flash storage solutions, as customers consolidate, accelerate
and modernize data center infrastructures. The most recent
full-year comparisons help illustrate the trend. Between 2014 and
2015, EMC increased its base of flash customers globally by 78%,
with revenue for flash offerings increasing by 104% in H2 2015 over
H1 2015. EMC's XtremIO business also achieved a $2 billion run rate for bookings in Q42015,
capping full-year 2015 XtremIO revenues of more than $1 billion.
As EMC's fastest-growing product of all time, XtremIO topped the
all-flash storage array market in just nine months after its 2013
debut, with customers continuing to choose XtremIO over competing
AFAs for its ease of use and unique architecture that delivers
consistent and predictable performance at scale. Several thousand
customers have deployed XtremIO for its always-on, always inline
data services such as deduplication and compression as well as
integrated Copy Data Management (iCDM) that enables customers to
accelerate and improve productivity in the business and IT
organization.
Notable customers that have recently embraced EMC's
all-flash-based storage systems include:
- State of Indiana, USA, based in Indianapolis, invested in ten, 20TB EMC
XtremIO X-Bricks for its two data centers. The deployment enabled
State of Indiana to manage its
virtual server performance, reduce its data center operating costs
by slashing its space requirements by 75%, and consolidate the
mission-critical database workloads of its agencies across the
state. As a result of its EMC implementation, State of Indiana will become the first state
government to run an all-flash data center.
- CMA, an IT consultancy based in New York, runs some of the world's most
complex workloads, but were faced with intense performance and
bandwidth challenges for their applications and real-time analysis
of their data. With EMC DSSD™ D5™ they were able to fundamentally
change their business by eliminating unnecessary software, hardware
and pre-processed batch jobs.
- Etisalat Group is a leading telecommunications
company offering services to consumers and businesses in 19
countries in the Middle East,
Asia and Africa. Etisalat Misr is the company's
Egyptian subsidiary, with more than 20 million users. Etisalat Misr
deployed both EMC XtremIO and all-flash configurations of EMC's
VNX® storage arrays, helping improve overall performance of its
business applications by a reported 300%. The company was looking
to accelerate database response times and leveraged XtremIO and VNX
to drop this into the sub-millisecond range.
