Server Storage Area Network Market Trends

The rising number of data centers drives market CAGR for Server Storage Area Networks. A data center shares applications and stores data. Which has components that consist of switches, storage systems, routers, servers, and security. The Increasing number of data centers, the reduction of additional data center infrastructure costs, the need for improved data storage, improved data access and storage management, and highly scalable storage are some of the major factors driving the server storage area network market.

Additionally, the reduced operational cost is the major benefit of the server storage area network. Also, the useful life of storage assets and resources can be extended. Overall infrastructure costs of the combined server and storage should be less than solutions utilizing a traditional storage array. Besides, the rapid development of e-commerce businesses because of the growing number of consumers online has propelled the adoption of Storage Area Networks to store important data in databases. This can assist in enhancing data efficiencies while making it convenient to have access across connected devices.

However, lack of awareness about server storage area networks, solutions and lack of expertise are still major restraining factors. Many SMEs is still dependent upon traditional storage instead of server storage area network. The COVID-19 outbreak severely affected almost all industries across the globe, with lockdown enforcements and restrictions on movements of non-essential goods as well as resources in various countries has disrupted the supply chain of electronic components & networking equipment.

For instance, only a few large organizations can see this market's numerous benefits. There were hiking solutions such as collaboration tools, work-from-home infrastructure, virtualization infrastructure, mobile devices, VPN networking, security, zoom, and desktop support during the lockdown. This fueled the interest in people for video conferencing solutions during the crisis, generating a large amount of data that will require high-end technologies to analyze. Thus, driving the Server Storage Area Network market revenue.

Server Storage Area Network Market Segment Insights

Server Storage Area Network Component Insights

The global Server Storage Area Network market segmentation, based on components, includes hardware and software. The hardware category dominated the market, accounting for the largest market revenue. A Server Storage Area Network is hardware that links servers to shared pools of storage devices dedicated to moving storage traffic in a Storage Area Network. Each device with networks can have access storage on the storage area network.

Server Storage Area Network Services Insights

The global Server Storage Area Network market segmentation, based on services, includes professional and managed. The professional category generated the most income, which is sub-segmented into consulting services, support & maintenance services, and integration & deployment services. With the help of professional services, large industries facing problems in storing their massive amounts of data and deployments on data centers are helped successfully by managing sensitive company information systematically.

Server Storage Area Network Type Insights

The global Server Storage Area Network market segmentation, based on type, includes Hyperscale server SAN and Enterprise server SAN. The hyperscale server SAN category generated the most income. A hyper-scale server SAN is a network architecture that delivers high performance and scalability by using inexpensive off-the-shelf components. In which the data is gathered and stored systematically across several low-capacity servers located in data centers. The design offers benefits such as easy maintenance & deployment, lower capital expenditure, and flexibility to scale up quickly when required.

However, enterprise server SAN has its own benefits with a server system and integrated storage. These servers can be deployed in a data center or at customer premises using direct-attach storage devices or through Fibre Channel/FCP (Fiber Channel over Ethernet).

Server Storage Area Network Organization Insights

Based on the organization, the global Server Storage Area Network market segmentation includes SMEs and Large Enterprises. The SMEs category dominated the market during the forecast period. This is owing to SMEs' rising adoption of cloud storage as they opt for cost-efficient I.T. infrastructure. Additionally, factors such as growing demand for web applications and e-commerce transactions, along with traffic in mobile users, are anticipated to drive the demand over the forecast period.

However, the large enterprise category is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period due to an increase in on-premise software as well as hardware solutions adopted by enterprises worldwide.
