Market Overview

• Flash-based array refers to a repository, drive,
  and system, which facilitates storage of
  information/data on conventional disk memory
  devices as well as flash for a long period of
  time. There are two types of products in
  flash-based array namely hybrid flash array and
  all-flash array. All-flash array (AFA) is a
  network-based storage system that utilizes flash
  media to fulfill the requirements of performance
  and capacity of data delivery and storage. AFA is
  developed flash-based and SSD-based architecture.
  Furthermore, hybrid flash array (HFA) is external
  storage that utilizes HDDs and SDDs to fulfill
  the requirements of performance and capacity. HFA
  incorporates flash memory and spinning disk to
  provide cost effective storage systems.

• The Global Flash-based Array Market, by Product
  Type (All-flash Array, and Hybrid Flash Array),
  and by Enterprise Type (Large Enterprises, and
  SMEs), by Storage Capacity (Less than 100 TB
  (Less than 5 TB, and Between 5 to 100 TB),
  Between 100 to 500 TB, Between 500 TB to 1PB, and
  More than 1 PB), by End-use Vertical (BFSI,
  Healthcare, Media and Entertainment, IT and
  Telecommunication, Retail, Government,
  Manufacturing, and Other) and by Geography (North
  America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and
  Middle East Africa) - Global Forecast to
  2027, is valued at US 27,888.88 million in
  2019, witnessing a CAGR of 18.0 during the
  forecast period (2019-2027), as highlighted in a
  report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Dynamics- Drivers

• Ability to provide high-end performance is
  expected to drive growth of the global
  flash-based array market during the forecast
  period
• High performance capabilities are one of the
  major reason for boosting the adoption of
  flash-based array. Hybrid flash-based array and
  all-flash array are developed with SSD
  technology, enabling them with relatively higher
  speed data mobility as compare to conventional
  storage devices such as HDD. Furthermore, HDD
  causes unavoidable overhead cost of scanning
  disk. In fact, the fastest 15 RPM HDD may not be
  able to survive with high-traffic environments
  since it would need extra RAM, disk, and caching
  to function properly in high-traffic
  environments.

• his, in turn, increases overall hardware costs.
  Since SSD has no physical tracks or sectors and
  thus has no physical seek limits, it facilitates
  faster storage and accessibility of data than HDD
  and also offers high performance capabilities for
  enterprise data storage. According to NetApps
  input/output operations per second (IOPS)
  comparative study, HDD delivers 40180 IOPS
  (Input output per second) and SSD offers 1000
  IOPS. This vast performance difference between
  HDD and SSD is a major factor driving growth of
  the global flash-based array market.

6

• Capability flash array of high performance
  transactional workloads is expected to propel the
  global flash-based array market growth over the
  forecast period
• High performance transactional workloads across
  various sectors such as financial, e-Commerce,
  government sectors, and travel industry need high
  transaction rates with low response times for
  day-to-day business transactions. The
  conventional storage system fails to fulfill
  these requirements and thus, these industries are
  gradually shifting towards flash array storage
  systems for their critical business applications.
  For instance, NetApp EF-Series all flash arrays
  have been installed by Universal-Investment,
  which is a Germany-based investment company.
  After installation, the company has witnessed
  100 performance improvement and has been enabled
  to deliver reliable financial services to
  customers.

• North America region dominated the global
  flash-based array market in 2019, accounting
  for 34.3 share in terms of value, followed by
  Europe, and Asia Pacific respectively.

8
Market Dynamics- Restraints

• High upfront cost of flash array is expected to
  restrain growth of the global flash-based array
  market during the forecast period
• Upfront cost of all-flash array is higher than
  cost of traditional storage systems. Initially,
  the enterprises need to invest a minimum of US
  200,000 or more for installation. However, this
  is not suitable for small and medium-sized
  enterprises due to stringent budget constraints.
  This leads into small- and medium-sized
  organizations adopting traditional storage
  system, which in turn, is expected to restrain
  the global flash-based array market over the
  forecast period.

9

• Incompatible with all types of workloads are
  expected to hinder the global flash-based array
  market growth over the forecast period
• Hybrid flash-based array is not compatible with
  all workloads, as it fails to provide low
  latency. Hybrid arrays offer better performance
  and do not result in lag time for customers
  because the algorithms used for hybrid arrays are
  different for HDD and SSD, and this creates
  latency issue in data delivery. Moreover,
  efficacy level changes whenever application load
  change to additional data is stored to disc.
  Hybrid flash arrays are suitable for some
  workloads, while other workloads require
  traditional storage systems, which in turn, are
  expected to hamper the global flash-based array
  market over the forecast period.

Market Opportunities

• Growing requirement for real-time data processing
  is expected to pose lucrative business
  opportunity
• Increasing incorporation of cloud-computing,
  Internet of Things, machine learning, artificial
  intelligence, mobile devices, and cognitive
  systems are increasing the demand for real-time
  data processing, in order to deliver efficient
  services anytime and anywhere in the shortest
  time possible. Hence, this growing demand for
  real-time data processing is expected to present
  lucrative business opportunities in the near
  future.

11

• Growing demand for innovative flash solutions for
  unstructured data and big data is expected to
  provide major growth opportunity in the near
  future  
• Increasing penetration of big data and
  unstructured data has increased the demand for
  novel storage systems to store data for extended
  period of time. According to Coherent Market
  Insights analysis, unstructured data and big
  data volumes are expected exhibit a 44 CAGR in
  the near future. Furthermore, requirement of
  competent storage systems for big data and
  unstructured data is providing lucrative business
  opportunities.
