o Report: Global Storage Hardware Sales Grow by 5.7%

Stamford, Conn. -- According to new research by Gartner, an IT market
analysis firm based in Stamford, global sales of data storage gear grew by
5.7% last year and this year appear to be on target for 7.9% growth. "The
overall market did a little bit better in 2003 than what was expected, and
the fourth quarter was particularly strong," said Roger Cox, a vice
president of Gartner. "This confirms what some of the storage executives
have been saying, which is that the economy is getting a little better."
Gartner said that sales of external, controller-based disk storage came to
nearly $13 billion last year, up from $12.2 billion the previous year. EMC
led the market with a 20.6% share, followed by HP (18.6%), IBM (13.1%),
Hitachi (8.3%) and Sun Microsystems (6.8%).
