IDC Tracker

IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Purpose Built Backup Appliance Tracker® provides vendor share, market size, and forecasts for purpose-built backup appliances (PBBAs). IDC provides key market insights and growth for vendors participating in the PBBA market as well as for those that may introduce new products. Revenue and capacity for disk systems behind PBBA gateways are included in the PBBA market sizing and forecast. Some PBBA solutions integrate the data movement engine (backup application) with the appliance, while others only serve as a target for incoming backup application data. Both solutions are included in the PBBA market sizing.
