EMC Corporation, the world leader in information storage and management, extended its worldwide storage software lead again in the third quarter of 2004 to 31.8% revenue share, according to a new report released today by IDC. On a year-on-year basis, EMC expanded its revenue share lead over the next-largest storage software supplier for the fourth consecutive quarter. EMC widened the gap to more than 10 share points as organizations implemented EMC software to advance their information lifecycle management (ILM) strategies. Howard Elias, EMC's Executive Vice President of Corporate Marketing and Office of Technology, said, "The latest IDC report is clear indication that EMC's commitment to open software and integrated solutions is leading to increasingly wider acceptance of EMC software in the market, across all segments. EMC software is bringing information lifecycle management to life for customers across the globe, helping them align and optimize their information to save money, mitigate risk and drive value back to the business.
