EMC Corporation extended its storage software lead in the first quarter of 2004 to 30.1% revenue share, according to data released today by IDC.
On a year-over-year basis, EMC continued to outpace the worldwide storage software market with 35.4% revenue growth and gained more revenue share than any other major supplier.
Based on IDC`s first quarter estimates, EMC also grew year-over-year revenue faster than its closest competitors in the three major storage software segments including storage resource management (SRM), replication and backup/archive.
Howard Elias, EMC`s Executive Vice-President of Corporate Marketing, Office of Technology, said: "Organisations struggling to support rapid information growth with too few budget dollars are turning to EMC software for help. Based on IDC`s findings, EMC software sales outpaced each of our competitors as customers around the world invested in our market-leading software portfolio to address information management issues such as business continuity, compliance and the proliferation of unstructured data.
"EMC software plays a central role in helping organisations implement information lifecycle management, which enables customers to align the resources applied to protecting and managing information to that information`s changing value over time."
