Gartner released its 18Q3 external storage data yesterday, some images are as follows.

Global growth is 3.5% in total from the whole external storage situations. Dell EMC and NetApp are the first two companies who keep a rapid double-digit growth. HPE is the third one with earnings falling. Huawei with a highest 33.9% growth among TOP manufacturers exceeds IBM and Hitachi in earnings, ranking the global fourth. It is a best quarter for Huawei, who enters TOP4 with a highest growth.

Hitachi and IBM are falling. Especially IBM has a double-digit decline. Pure Storage keeps growing but it just increases by 24.2% lower than Huawei.

Situations of China are as follows after global looking. The external storage growth of China is 3.2% lower than global average. Huawei is the first with a 19.8% growth rate, which is much higher than average making its shares to be up to 37.2%. Dell EMC keeps a double-digit growth, ranking the second. Although HPE is the third, its earnings decreases. NetApp gets into TOP4 with a high growth rate.

There is a 34.5% increase in total which maintains a high growth from the diagram of SSA. As TOP5 companies are usual faces, Huawei replaces Hitachi to be the sixth with a 324.4% growth rate.

The data and ranking of SSA is similar to AFA data of IDC, except for the fourth and fifth. It is inspiring that if only look at Chinese companies in SSA, there is a holistic growth rate which is up to 141.4%. Huawei exceeds Dell EMC with a 296.% growth to rank the first, in addition, its shares are 27.9%. Dell EMC ranks the second but its growth rate is lower than average.

It can be seen that there is a rapid growth of others, which implicates other Chinese manufacturers are growing rapidly besides Huawei. The distribution of SSA in whole ECB(the storage bases on external storage except for JBOD) is as follow.

SSA occupies 40% of global ECB.

SSA holds 48% shares in America which is close to a half of market shares.

However, SSA only accounts for 20% shares in China, which has a large space to grow.

The high-end VMAX is in majority which is more than a half in Dell EMC from the SSA products distribution of these manufacturers. Protogenic XtremlO accounts for approximately 13%.

Protogenic SolidFire only occupies 8% in NetApp.

Protogenic FlashSystem of IBM even accounts for 48% which is sold less than architected all flash.

Huawei is the only one whose Dorado holds 80% shares, so its architected SSA still has a large space to grow.
