Let’s hope that the new slew of HP storage products and technologies announced at HP Discover 2012 will lift them up. HP -11% decline is shocking to me, and given the woes after woes that HP has been experiencing, HP has not seen the bottom yet. Here’s a look at the Top 5 and the rest of the pack: The rest of the field, IBM and HP, recorded negative growth.

In the last 2 quarters, the server boys in the likes of HP, IBM and Dell storage market share have either shrunk (in the case of HP and Dell) or tanked (as in IBM). ![]() The worldwide storage market is going through unprecedented change as it is making baby steps out of one of the longest recessions in history. ![]()
