Market Overview:
The global general-purpose disk arrays market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for data storage solutions, growing adoption of hybrid cloud deployments, and rising trend of big data and analytics. In terms of type, the block-and-file protocols segment is expected to hold the largest share in the global general-purpose disk arrays market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its high performance and scalability features compared with other types such as NVMeOF protocols.
Product Definition:
A disk array is a collection of hard disk drives that are treated as one logical unit. Hard disks in a disk array can be used to store data, or they can be used to create a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) configuration, which provides increased performance or fault tolerance.
Disk arrays are important because they provide an easy way to add more storage capacity to a system. They also offer improved performance and reliability compared to using individual hard disks.
Block-and-File Protocols:
The block-and-file protocols are used to access the data on a disk array. The protocols can be broadly classified into two types, namely, small block protocol and large block protocol. Small Block Protocol (SBP) is used for accessing data in a range of 0 to 1023 cylinders; while Large Block Protocol (LBP) is used for accessing data ranging from 1024 cylinders onwards.
NVMeOF Protocols:
NVMe OF (Non-volatile Memory of Field Effect) is a technology used in disk arrays to provide persistent memory. It uses magnetic storage mediums and utilizes electrical connections between cells within the magnetic storage mediums, which are then re-programmable using appropriate software. NVMe offers several benefits over traditional flash-based solid state drives such as faster boot times, larger capacity per dollar, better scalability & reliability, and support for enterprise workloads with consistent performance.
Application Insights:
The hybrid cloud application segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2017. The growth is attributed to the rapidly growing demand for storage and computing resources across multiple applications, which require a large amount of data storage. As a result, companies are adopting disk arrays that offer high performance and efficient solutions to meet the rising demand from various applications.
The data storage solutions segment is expected to exhibit significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing adoption of disk arrays in enterprise-level applications as they provide high reliability, availability, scalability and security features along with ease of management. Furthermore, these devices also support existing technologies such as iSCSI or Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) thereby providing enhanced network connectivity between servers or workstations connected through a Storage Area Network (SAN).
Disk array manufacturers are focusing on entering into partnerships with key industry players such as Microsoft Corporation; Inc.; Oracle Corporation; IBM Corporation; HP Enterprise Services Pvt Ltd.
Regional Analysis:
The North American regional market dominated the global market in 2017. The growth of this region can be attributed to the presence of major players such as Seagate Technology PLC, Western Digital Technologies LLC, and Toshiba Corporation. These companies are actively engaged in developing advanced products for General-purpose disk arrays (GPDA) which provide high I/O performance with low latency and high durability over a wide range of operating temperatures. Moreover, these companies are also involved in providing software solutions that enable users to take advantage of their storage devices by offering an array management solution through a Storage Operating System (SOS).
Asia Pacific is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing regional market from 2018 to 2030 owing to increasing demand for data storage solutions from various end-use industries such as healthcare & life sciences, telecommunication & IT services providers among others due to rapid technological advancements along with growing economies across countries like China and India.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for big data storage and analytics: The global general-purpose disk arrays market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 9% during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the increasing demand for big data storage and analytics, which requires high-performance computing (HPC) systems with large storage capacity.
- Proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT): The proliferation of IoT is another major factor that is expected to drive the growth of the global general-purpose disk arrays market during the forecast period. With an increase in connected devices, there will be an exponential increase in data generation, thereby resulting in a higher demand for storage solutions.
- Emergence of new applications: There has been a significant rise in new applications such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and virtual reality (VR) that require high performance and scalability from disk arrays systems. This is expected to fuel the growth of the global general-purpose disk arrays market during the forecast period.
