The FINANCIAL — The IDC MarketScape study found that CommVault, EMC, and Symantec are leaders in the European data protection and recovery software market.
This IDC study assesses 10 software vendors that are participating in the data protection and recovery software (DPR) market in Europe. Vendor selection included the top 10 vendors in this market. This assessment discusses both quantitative and qualitative characteristics that explain success in this important market. The data protection and recovery software market is a mature market driven by incumbent vendors, which more recently has been disrupted by technology trends such as server virtualization, disk-based backup, and cloud services, giving space to innovative emerging vendors with specific point solutions.
"A diverse mix of vendors competes in the Western European market for data protection and recovery software solutions," said Carla Arend, research director, European Datacenter Software, IDC. "Some are smaller specialists, others are large software vendors. Some have evolved their products over many years and many are currently merging acquired technology assets, while others have built out modules organically with less functional breadth. Ultimately, each vendor has a unique set of strengths and weaknesses. It is very important for buyers to identify their particular requirements and match these with vendor capabilities. The most appropriate vendor is likely to vary significantly depending on the requirements," Arend added.
