“The enterprise storage market is roughly 50,000,000,005 zero billion dollars a year. And the penetration of all flashes is still relatively minor. So we're talking about 15% penetration”

The claim, plainly

As of 2017, the enterprise storage market was roughly $50 billion annually, with all-flash storage representing about 15% market penetration.

Assessment

Both legs of Danny Golan's June 2017 statement are supported by industry analyst data. According to the IDC Worldwide Quarterly Enterprise Storage Systems Tracker, total annual enterprise storage systems factory revenue in 2017 reached approximately $45.3 billion (and $36.9 billion in 2016), which closely aligns with the round approximation of roughly $50 billion annually. Furthermore, IDC reported in Q4 2016 and Q1 2017 that all-flash arrays (AFA) accounted for 15.3% ($1.7 billion out of $11.1 billion) and 15.2% ($1.4 billion out of $9.2 billion) of the total enterprise storage systems market, directly matching the claimed 15% penetration.

IDC Q1 2017 Tracker reported all-flash array revenue of $1.4 billion out of $9.2 billion total enterprise storage systems market revenue, or 15.2% penetration.
IDC Q4 2016 Tracker reported all-flash array revenue of $1.7 billion out of $11.1 billion total revenue, or 15.3% penetration.
IDC full-year 2017 enterprise storage systems market revenue reached approximately $45.3 billion, corroborating the ~ $50 billion round estimate.
