Consider IDC numbers to be like the reported height and weight for football players--At least 10 pounds and 1.5 inches above reality.

LOL. Good point. You can see them revise the numbers annually for emerging markets like fibre channel hubs and switches, SAN, NAS. Networked Information Storage appears to be the new category for SAN/NAS since the two complementary technologies are converging very rapidly.

In this case, IDC fibre channel factory switch revenue in 1999 and 2000, but decided to include another class of products called FICON for 2001-2003. As a result, they also adjusted the numbers for 1999 and 2000.
