This IDC study discusses EMC's CLARiiON CX family of networked storage systems. It provides a residual value forecast for the original CX400 and CX600 announced in 2002 as well as the new CX300, CX300i, CX500, CX500i, and CX700. These systems provide a clear growth path from any entry point to the largest capacity system without the need to reload customer data.
"EMC's combination of a scalable, modular architecture and robust software offerings has allowed the CLARiiON CX to retain the leadership position in the midrange networked storage market. With the CX continuing to gain market share during 2004, it remains a popular solution across a broad range of environments." — William Roch, IDC research director, Leasing Evaluation Service
