Competition From Startups<\/b><\/p>\n
Analysts have been marking the increasing competition that the industry\u2019s market share leader EMC Corporation (NYSE:EMC) is facing as new startups continue to progress rapidly advancing in technology breakthroughs.

The company employs flash technology instead of the usual hard drivers, such as EMC, offering companies huge spaces for their vast data and business records.<\/p>\n
The five year old startup has already lured some of the big cloud centric human resources companies which include names such as LinkedIn Corp (NYSE:LNKD) <\/b>and Workday Inc (NYSE:WDAY)<\/b>. The company\u2019s Chief Executive Officer, Scott Dietzen explained that flash memory uses less power and is much faster than traditional storage disks, but are more expensive. He further said that Pure Storage has discovered ways to keep the related costs reduced so as to bring them in sync with disk storage prices. The company reported a revenue growth of 700% last year, with a 50% surge every quarter. Analysts value the company at $3 billion.<\/p>\n
Other Names<\/b><\/p>\n
