Worldwide Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter 2004-2008 Forecast and 2003 Vendor SharesProduct Type: Market Research ReportPublished by: IDC Published: March 2004 Product Code: R104-14769 Description This IDC study provides IDC's 2004 worldwide market analysis and forecast for a
critical component in the market for network storage solutions. It forecasts
unit and port shipments, as well as factory and market revenue for the sale of
Fibre Channel (FC) host bus adapters (HBAs), including both single-port and
multiport HBAs. The study also includes 2003 vendor market shares for FC HBA
revenue and shipments.
This study discusses how future trends in server shipments, multiport HBAs, and
competing technologies, such as iSCSI will affect the competitive position of
HBA vendors. It also provides specific advice to these companies on how to best
take advantage of the changing world of networked storage.
"The next two years promise to be a time of sustained revenue growth for FC HBA
suppliers as companies move toward SAN-based storage architectures; however,
changes in technology and product mix will ensure that the market remains
highly dynamic," said Richard Villars, vice president of the Storage System
service at IDC. "Significant growth in HBA shipments beyond 2005 will need to
come almost exclusively from HBAs targeted at volume servers, and this will
have a significant impact on HBA prices and paths to market."Table of Contents Table of Contents IDC Opinion In This Study Methodology Learn More Definitions Situation Overview Table: Worldwide Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Revenue and Shipments, 2001-2003 Table: Worldwide Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Average Sales Prices, 2001-2003 ($) Multiport HBAs' Influence Continues to Grow Table: Worldwide Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Unit and Port Shipments by Port Count, 2002 and 2003 (000) 2001?2003 Market Share Trends: Consolidation Continues Table: Worldwide Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Factory Revenue by Vendor, 2001-2003 Table: Worldwide Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Shipments by Vendor, 2001-2003 Table: Worldwide Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Ports Shipped by Vendor, 2002 and 2003 Future Outlook FC on Volume Servers: The New Frontier Figure: Worldwide Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Shipments by Server Segment, 2003?2008 Impact of the Move to Volume Servers What About iSCSI?
