Business Users and Developers Are the Main Opportunities for AI PCs
AI is coming to the PC, but Apple and NVIDIA already have a lock on creative and gaming users, says a new Omdia report.
Worldwide purpose-built backup appliance (PBBA) company revenues were down 16.2% year over year, totaling $728.5 million in the second quarter of 2017 (2Q17), according to IDC.
Total PBBA open systems factory revenue decreased 16.2% year over year during the quarter with revenues of $657.9 million. Mainframe systems sales were also down 15.4% in 2Q17. Total worldwide PBBA capacity shipped for 2Q17 totaled 858 petabytes, a decrease of 14.9% from 2Q16.
"The PBBA market remains in a state of transition, posting a 16.2% decline in the second quarter of 2017," said Liz Conner, research manager, Storage Systems. "Following a similar trend to the enterprise storage systems market, the traditional backup market is declining as end users and vendors alike explore new technology. Cloud-based backup tiers, hybrid flash arrays, emphasis on replication and data recovery, as well as software-first approaches are all driving a new wave of data protection, including purpose-built appliances.
Dell maintained its lead in the overall PBBA market with 55.5% revenue share during the quarter, followed by Veritas with 17.3% share. IBM took the third position with 8.0% while HPE and Oracle tied for the fourth position with 4.8% and 3.8% market share, respectively.
