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 [a
]. On a year-on-year basis, EMC expanded its revenue share lead over the next-largest storage software supplier for the fourth consecutive quarter.
