Global Consumer Network Storage: Say Goodbye 500GB, Hello 2TB Global Consumer Network Storage: Say Goodbye 500GB, Hello 2TB
Abstract Although the consumer network storage space was already crowded, there are still new entrants. Because of the crowding, some jockeying in market share has been taking place.
Not surprisingly, global growth rates slid in 2008, and 2009 promises to be sluggish. However, one region will provide a brighter spot in the consumer network drive arena in the midst of the economic downturn. In the face of these times, competition will be stiff from cheaper, external direct USB storage. Marketing/advertising of the benefits of network storage over direct storage will continue to be a challenge. Consumer network storage includes NAS, SAN, NDAS, and Windows Home Server platforms.
This worldwide report includes 2007-2013 forecasts for each market segmentation by region, price tier, and storage capacity, wired vs. wireless LAN, and provides discussions about consumer network storage market trends, technology trends, processors, and 2008 global vendor market shares. In addition, an industry-leading detailed vendor matrix of product lines, models, and features is also provided, with some features not easily obtainable. A table is included showing branded media server vs. proprietary UPnP server use by vendor. Applicable domestic and international consumer survey research is also included.
