Global Server Storage Area Network Market Research Report: By Component (Hardware, Software), by Services (Professional, Managed), by Type (Hyperscale Server SAN, Enterprise Server SAN), and by Organization (SME, Large Enterprise) - Forecast till 2030

Server Storage Area Network Market Overview

In 2022, the server storage area network market value is witnessed as USD 16 Billion and is expected to exhibit a significant CAGR of 37.8% along with the global server storage area network market size of USD 63.79 Billion during the forecast period 2022-2030.

A server storage area network is a high-speed network that provides a fundamental level of network access to storage that consists of networking equipment like switches, routers, and storage devices. Using network topologies and different protocols, this networking equipment is connected to each other which is used at multiple sites. The storage area network is used to improve the availability of the application and also improves the data paths. These are highly used for backup and disaster recovery settings.

These are also used for enhancing the capacity of mass storage devices like optical jukeboxes, tape libraries, and disk arrays which are access to servers. Moreover, it improves the application performance like load balancing and network segregation. It also boosts the effectiveness and storage utilization of storage. This server SAN uses the concept of combinational computations and removes the additional requirement of separate space for storage. This server SAN multi-protocol storage makes use of both spinning disk and flash storage.

COVID-19 Analysis:

The COVID-19 outbreak has drastically affected almost all industries globally. To curb the spread of the virus, most countries imposed lockdowns and a few stringent rules and restrictions. The lockdown and restrictions on the movement of non-essential goods and resources in several countries have disrupted the supply chain of electronic components & networking equipment. This leads to a delay in the production of equipment. In the first half of 2020, the server storage area network business has slowed down due to ICT spending in major economies. Rising investment in digital infrastructure may increase market growth.

To avoid the spread of the virus, most of the companies started the work from the home process. During the COVID-19, various technologies like collaboration tools, work-from-home infrastructure, VPN networking, virtualization infrastructure, mobile devices security, desktop k support, and Zoom are accelerated. Moreover, video conferencing solution is also increased during the crisis. This leads to an increase in the usage of computers and generates a large amount of data that requires high-end technologies to analyze. Thus, the server storage area network profits from the pandemic.

Market Dynamics:
