Wed, 12 Nov 2008 00:00:00 ESThttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=JP262106Qhttp://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&containerId=JP262106QThis IDC Presentation, which is a translation of the Japan report IDC #J8120106, was made in May 2008 to the clients. It shows the shipment records and market trend analysis of the 2007 Japan disk storage systems market, as well as market forecasts from 2008 to 2012. Both shipment records and forecasts were analyzed from the viewpoints of revenue and capacity shipments. The 2005–2007 supplier shipment records and market shares were analyzed based on revenue. In the external disk storage systems market, forecast data and shipment record results were divided into high end, midrange, and low end based on system price bands. The Japan external disk storage systems market can hardly be considered to be back on a stable growth track despite recording positive growth for two consecutive years. In order to realize stable growth in the medium term for the Japan disk storage systems market, it is imperative to expand the user base for storage solution investments.

With all sectors of the global economy under increasing pressure, consumers and businesses are suddenly paralyzed by the gathering clouds of fear, uncertainty, and doubt. What can we now expect for IT investment levels in the next 12 months and beyond? In this special telebriefing, IDC will present its new and updated five-year forecast for IT and telecom spending, alongside the results of a global business and consumer survey carried out in October. Questions to be answered will include: What is the direct impact of the financial crisis on short-term IT and telecom spending? Which geographies, vertical industries, and IT product/service sectors are most at risk? Which vendors are likely to be the most affected? What areas of IT budgets are likely to feel the first wave of investment cutbacks in the next three months? What strategies should IT vendors employ in order to survive the current crisis?
