Product Definition:
A Storage Area Network (SAN) Switch is a networking device that connects multiple storage devices to create a SAN. This allows for the sharing of storage resources between multiple servers, eliminating the need for each server to have its own direct connection to every storage device. The use of SAN Switches allows administrators to centrally manage and configure all the devices in the SAN, as well as optimize performance by load balancing traffic across all available devices.
4Gbps:
4Gbps is the maximum transfer rate for a single-sided data diskette in a CD-ROM drive. It is also called as high speed or fast speed. The term was originated and defined by ITU-T, the international telecommunications union, as an alternative to the commonly used Gbps (gigabit per second).
The 4Gbps SAN switches market has been witnessing significant growth over the past few years owing to increasing demand for storage networks across large enterprises.
8Gbps:
8Gbps is the throughput speed for Fibre Channel SAN switches. It is also used as a benchmark to compare the performance of Fibre Channel storage area network (SAN) switches. 8Gbps can be achieved with either 2-port or 4-port configurations and it provides an excellent way to measure the performance of a SAN switch when attached to a host bus adapter (HBA).
Application Insights:
The financial application segment led the global storage area network switches market in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing adoption ofSAN for data storage across various applications, such as banking, stock exchange and others.
Telecommunications application segment accounted for more than 20% share in 2017 owing to growing demand from telecom companies for high-speed connectivity between their offices. The need for efficient data transfer solutions has become critical as it takes ages to transfer huge amount of data through conventional methods such as optical fiber cables due to low bandwidth capability. In order words, SAN helps overcome limitations imposed by conventional technologies by providing enhanced bandwidth capabilities with greater efficiency across multiple servers or computers connected within a Storage Area Network (SAN). Thus, increasing demand from telecommunication companies is expected drive the market over the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
The North American region dominated the global market in 2017. The growth of the region can be attributed to increasing investments in data centers and rising adoption of cloud services. Moreover, growing demand for high-performance computing is also expected to drive regional product demand over the forecast period.
The Asia Pacific (APAC) region is projected to emerge as a lucrative destination for SAN switches over the next eight years owing to increasing digitalization and IT modernization in this region. Additionally, growing use of storage area networks across several industries such as media & entertainment, government & defense, healthcare & life sciences will propel regional product demand during the forecast period. Furthermore SanDisk Corporation; Western Digital Technologies Limited; Toshiba Storage Devices Americas Inc.; Samsung Electro-Mechanics Co.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for big data and cloud storage: The global market for big data and cloud storage is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 30% from 2016 to 2020. This is driving the demand for SAN switches, as they are essential components of modern storage infrastructure.
- Proliferation of hyper-converged infrastructure: Hyper-converged infrastructure is becoming increasingly popular due to its ability to provide agility, scalability, and efficiency in a single platform. This is fueling the growth of the SAN switch market as well.
- Emergence of software-defined storage: Software-defined storage (SDS) has emerged as a key trend in the Storage Area Networking (SAN) market space over recent years with its ability to deliver agility and flexibility in today’s dynamic IT environments while reducing costs at scale .This is helping drive wider adoption rates for SAN switches within organizations worldwide looking to modernize their legacy infrastructures .
