Hyperconverged Takes Over Converged Market
Dell Technologies has extended the company’s massive hyperconverged market share gap between itself and all competitors, winning one-third of the global market in the fourth quarter of 2019, according to new market research from IDC.
Global revenues from hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) systems reached $2.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2019, representing a 17.2 percent increase year over year. HCI has now taken over the worldwide converged infrastructure space, according to Greg Macatee, research analyst for Infrastructure Platforms and Technologies at IDC.
"Hyperconverged system sales remained robust during the fourth quarter and carried overall converged systems market growth despite annual declines of other product types," said Macatee in a statement. "The hyperconverged system growth picture was largely consistent across the globe with growth in every region in the low to mid double-digit range as these types of systems continue to provide value to a wide variety of businesses in both hybrid and multicloud environments given their easy-to-deploy and automated software-defined nature."
IDC declares a statistical tie when there is a difference of 1 percent or less in the share of revenue. In this particular HCI report, IDC has a statistical three-way tie for third place.
