A summary of the market in Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan), or APEJ, in 2005 Revenue and unit shipments broken down by country, technology/format, and library size Forecasts of the market from 2005 to 2010 for the region, as well as a separate section for each of the 12 countries covered in the region, by library size
"The APEJ market for branded tape automation systems experienced robust growth in 2005 due in part to increased end-user awareness of data protection and business continuity. However, continual pressures from the increasing capacity of HDDs, new generation disk storage systems, the acceptance of virtual tape libraries (VTLs), the rapid adoption of storage consolidation projects and the implementation of D2D2T architectures are expected to attenuate the growth of the market over the next five years," observes Cheryl Ganesan-Lim, associate market analyst, Storage Research, IDC Asia/Pacific.
