Hewlett-Packard took the No. 4 position, followed by Computer Associates International, Hitachi, Network Appliance and StorageTek.
Two vendors joined the top 10 list for the first time, said DiCenzo. Symantec came in at No. 9 thanks to its recent acquisition of PowerQuest, while switch vendor Brocade took the No. 10 spot with its fast-growing device resource management tools, she said.
They replace Legato, which disappeared from the top 10 list due to its acquisition by EMC, and BMC, which last year exited the storage management software space, except for some mainframe software business.
Of the $5 billion in storage management software sold in 2003, $3.6 billion was sold by nonarray vendors. In this category, Veritas took the No. 1 position, with a 26.1 percent market share, followed by EMC at 20.9 percent and IBM at 14.2 percent, DiCenzo said.
For 2004, DiCenzo said she expects the market to grow at about the same rate as 2003. "We're back on target for growth," she said.
