SERVER STORAGE AREA NETWORK MARKET OVERVIEW

The global server storage area network market size was USD 32.86 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 182.7 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 21.0% during the forecast period.

A server storage area network is a fast network that offers the most basic level of network access to storage, which comprises of switches, routers, and storage devices used for networking. These networking devices are linked to one another and utilized at various places using various protocols and network topologies. The storage area network is used to increase the application's availability and enhance the data pathways. For backup and disaster recovery setups, they are widely utilized.

These are also used to increase the storage capacity of mass storage devices, such as disk arrays, tape libraries, and optical jukeboxes, which are connected to servers. Additionally, it enhances the performance of the applications through network segmentation and load balancing. Additionally, it improves the efficiency and storage use of storage. This server SAN eliminates the additional demand of separate storage space by using the idea of combinational calculations. Both spinning disks and flash storage are used in this multi-protocol server storage area network.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Tough Laws and Regulations to Hamper the Market

Globally, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on practically every industry. The majority of nations implemented lockdowns along with a few tough laws and regulations to stop the virus's spread. The supply chain for electronic components and networking equipment has been interrupted as a result of the lockdown and limitations on the movement of non-essential products and resources in various nations. Equipment manufacture is delayed as a result of this. Due to increased ICT expenditure in key economies, the server storage area network industry has slowed significantly in the first half of 2020. Increased spending on digital infrastructure might stimulate market expansion.

The majority of businesses started the work from home approach to stop the virus from spreading. Collaboration tools, infrastructure for working from home, VPN networking, virtualization infrastructure, mobile device security, desktop K support, and Zoom are just a few of the innovations that are being advanced during COVID-19. Additionally, during times of crisis, use of video conferencing technology has expanded. Due to this, computer usage rises, producing a lot of data that has to be analyzed using cutting-edge technology. So the epidemic is advantageous for the server storage area network.

LATEST TRENDS

Rise in E- Commerce Website Usage to Propel the Market Demand

The rise in e-commerce website usage has led to an increase in consumer use of online channels. In this case, SANs are primarily used to store critical data in heavily used databases in order to enhance performance and increase efficiency. As an illustration, there are currently between 11 million and 23 million e-commerce websites operating worldwide, and that figure is increasing every day. Additionally, almost 96% of all sales are expected to be conducted online in the upcoming ten years. In addition, the market is predicted to rise as a consequence of investments in the technology industry and a burgeoning IT sector. In 2021 and 2022, respectively, it was predicted that India will spend close to USD 82 billion and USD 102 billion on IT.
