* HP template * The three key trends in the server market are unit volume, price and disk capacity. The forecasted volume of servers is predicted to increase substantially through the next 4 years to over 8 million units per annum, with the growth being in the sub-$6k and sub-$3k categories. In the past 2 years the pricing expectation for the servers have changed dramatically with 75% of servers now being sold at under $6k with this percentage expected to increase still further as the server market grows. Just 2-3 years ago it was the sub-$10k market that was growing. The tape connect rate to servers is difficult to predict, though as can be seen on the next slide it is not expected to decline substantially. Based on 4 million servers shipped in 2001 and 2.5 million 磁带驱动器s it would appear that for every 磁带驱动器 shipped, 1.6 servers were shipped. Hard disk drive capacity continues to increase with the sub-70 GB being the sweet spot in 2003. By 2004, this will have moved to the sub 100 GB category. The majority of users do not fill their disks completely due to performance issues and often they may only be partially used. Additionally incremental backups or operating system backups are often performed rather than complete disk backup, thus the DAT 72 is an ideal solution due to its achieved balance of cost of ownership (low media cost, high reliability) and capacity. * HP template * Many people today are quoting tape as being dead or at best declining. However nothing is further from the truth. In a recent study by “Storage” re the purchasing intentions of users for 2003, tape remained strong with 93% expected to increase or keep the same their disaster recover spend and 92% increasing or keeping the same their use of tape as a back up medium. Whether used as a direct attach to servers or as part of a library, tape continues to provide customers with the lowest cost of disaster recovery solution available. Indeed what many disk manufacturers forget to tell yo
