 Industry Outlook.svg)
Product Definition:
SDx is an umbrella term that encompasses a range of software-defined technologies, including software-defined networking (SDN), software-defined data center (SDDC), and software-defined infrastructure (SDI). SDx is important because it enables enterprises to more efficiently manage their networks and data centers by decoupling the control plane from the physical infrastructure. This makes it possible to rapidly provision new services and applications, while also providing greater flexibility and agility when responding to changing business demands.
Cloud:
Cloud is a collection of remote servers that can provide shared and virtualized computing resources. It provides on-demand self-service network access to applications, data, and services via internet connected devices. Cloud technology helps in reducing the cost of IT infrastructure by eliminating the need for traditional hardware or software appliances such as routers, switches etc., which are used to manage local networks.
On Premise:
On premise is a term used for software that is installed and run from the same physical device on which the application code and data are stored. On-premise software can be easily customized to meet specific business needs, as it has fewer dependency on third-party components. It also offers better control over hardware & software environment since it uses its own operating system with preinstalled tools.
Application Insights:
The telecom and IT segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017. The growing demand for software-defined networking (SDN) is expected to drive the adoption of SDx solutions over the forecast period. The BFSI sector is also anticipated to adopt these solutions at a rapid pace owing to their benefits such as cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and ease of management.
The education segment is anticipated to register a significant CAGR over the forecast period due to increasing government initiatives on improving educational infrastructure across countries such as India, China, Australia etc. Furthermore, rising penetration of cloud services has resulted in increased usage of SaaS applications which have been driving factors for this growth.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The growth can be attributed to the presence of major players such as IBM Corporation; Hewlett Packard Enterprise, LLC; Cisco Systems, Inc.; and Microsoft Corporation. These companies are actively investing in research & development activities to develop innovative software defined solutions for various industries.
Asia Pacific is expected to emerge as a lucrative region over the forecast period owing to increasing demand from small & medium enterprises (SMEs). In addition, government initiatives encouraging adoption of Software-Defined Everything (SDE) solutions by SMEs for cost-effective deployment at large scale is anticipated drive regional growth over next eight years.
Growth Factors:
- Increased demand for agility and faster time to market from businesses seeking competitive advantage.
- The need for greater efficiency and cost savings in data centers, driven by the growth of cloud computing, big data, and Internet of Things (IoT).
- Proliferation of mobile devices and the ever-growing volume of data traffic they generate.
- Shift to software-based services delivery models that are more scalable and elastic than traditional hardware-centric approaches.
