Hopkinton-based EMC Corp. took a larger slice of the worldwide disk storage systems market in the fourth quarter of 2010, even as the entire market grew larger, according to Framingham-based tracking firm International Data Corp.
EMC’s share of the total disk storage market rose to 19.2 percent, putting it in a statistical tie with HP for the top spot on that chart. That position reflects factory revenues of $1.6 billion. In the same period the previous year, EMC’s factory revenues stood at $1.2 billion, and it held 17.3 percent of the market, significantly below HP’s 19.9 percent.
In terms of external disk storage systems, EMC retained the top spot, with 26 percent of the market, up from 23.9 percent in Q4 2009.
