Data Storage Companies Performing Well in Early Stages of 2012
The Paragon Report Provides Equity Research on Seagate Technology & NetApp
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 02/03/12 -- Shares of companies focused on data storage have performed well in 2012 as a shortage of disk drives due to last year's devastating Thailand floods boosted the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) market, while new technologies in other segments of the industry give businesses a fresh approach to meet data storage requirements. The Paragon Report examines the outlook for companies in the Computer Storage Devices Industry and provides stock research on Seagate Technology PLC (NYSE: STX) and NetApp, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTAP). Access to the full company reports can be found at:
When Seagate Technologies reported fiscal second quarter earnings earlier this week, the company's earnings statement said large customers were more willing to sign long-term agreements to ensure supply continuity due to the shortage of HDDs. Research firm Gartner said last month that the major impact of the HDD shortage after the floods will be felt in the first half of this year, and even potentially continue through the year.
