Is The Storage Industry Consolidated?
Is The Storage Industry Consolidated? | Nasuni
November 19, 2013
There have long been predictions that the storage industry would consolidate down to three or four vendors. A few weeks ago EMC made a bid to buy Isilon and yesterday Dell made a bid to buy Compellent for $876 million dollars. These deals come on the heels of the dramatic HP – Dell bidding war over 3PAR. Is the storage industry consolidated? Not even close.As a point of disclosure I’m breaking my own rule of not mentioning vendor names in this blog since company names are the point of this piece. It is important to note that many of the vendors listed in this entry either have been or currently are clients of Storage Switzerland (indicated by “*”).
