Dell and Microsoft, not well-known for data storage products, indicated Dec. 6 that they want to improve their market share in that sector and seriously compete in the $30 billion market that is currently led by Hewlett Packard, EMC, NetApp and IBM.
In a joint announcement at the Storage Decisions conference in Las Vegas, the two longtime PC partners introduced a new unified, networked storage server system for file and application data. The system delivers "enterprise-class manageability, versatility, and performance for businesses of all sizes," a Dell spokesperson said.
