3Market Overview A storage area network refers to
a high-speed network, which interconnects and
presents a shared band of storage devices to
various servers. SANs are typically helpful in
backup and disaster recovery settings. SANs are
used to enhance the capacity of mass storage
devices such as optical jukeboxes, tape
libraries, and disk arrays that have access to
servers. Increasing volumes of critical data
being accumulated in the global business
environment have led to an increased need for
better performances, manageability, availability,
and security of data storage assets among
enterprises. Furthermore, many enterprises are
focused on implementing specialized storage
networks that can aid businesses in attaining
operational efficiencies. The global Storage
Area Network (SAN) Market was accounted for US
17,823.4 Mn in terms of value in 2019 and is
expected to grow at CAGR of 3.5 for the period
2020-2027.
4- Market Dynamics- Drivers
- Rising demand for efficient backup operations is
expected to drive growth of the global storage
area network (SAN) market during the forecast
period - Previously, in a conventional approach, LAN was
used for data back-up and restore functions that
are particularly slow and majorly impact
efficiency of the whole operation. On the
contrary, in SAN approach, data moves smoothly
across the SAN to tape devices as it does not
utilize critical server I/O or CPU resources.
Several issues can be improved with the
integration of high-performance backup and
restore capabilities with data availability and
device sharing. This includes performance
degradation, extended downtime periods, and
shrinking backup windows. However, increase in
the overall server efficiency with server-less
backup offered by SAN architecture is fueling
adoption of SAN across various verticals. Thus,
these factors are expected to drive growth of the
market in the near future.
5- Growing adoption of SANs among SMEs is expected
to propel the global storage area network (SAN)
market growth over the forecast period - Increasing usage of SANs among small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is expected to
boost the market growth, especially in emerging
economies. This adoption of SANs among smaller
organizations is mainly driven by the benefits
offered by SANs such as flexibility, shared
storage, and centralized control, in order to
share capacity between multiple hosts. As a
result of this, major SAN solution providers are
constantly focused on products that are easy to
use and are cost-effective for smaller
enterprises, which in turn, is expected to boost
the global storage area network (SAN) market
growth over the forecast period. - Statistics
- North America held dominant position in the
global Storage Area Network (SAN) market in 2019,
accounting for 36.8 share in terms of value,
followed by Europe and Asia Pacific, respectively

7- Market Dynamics- Restraints
- Major challenges associated with interoperability
are expected to hamper the global storage area
network (SAN) market growth over the forecast
period - Several standards have been developed for
FibreChannel technology. Different
interpretations of these standards by vendors
have resulted in development of products that
sometimes cannot work together on the same
network. Such issues related to interoperability
are impacting growth of the SAN market globally.
Hence, these factors are expected to hamper the
global storage area network (SAN) market growth
over the forecast period. - Increasing adoption of cloud-based storage
services in emerging economies is expected to
restrain growth of the global storage area (SAN)
market during the forecast period - Previously, storage and servers were purchased as
separate IT infrastructure components by various
groups within the IT department and under
different parts of the IT budget. However,
increasing adoption of cloud-based platforms has
altered the approach. Furthermore, rising
adoption of virtualization techniques in server
and storage has provided a massive shift in
procurement and deployment of data center
infrastructure. Many enterprises are moving
towards purchasing individual physical servers
connected to SANs to modular reference
architectures, which include every component
needed to operate various applications. Thus
these factors are expected to restrain growth of
the global storage area (SAN) market in the near
future.
8- Market Opportunities
- Rising penetration of e-commerce websites can
provide significant growth opportunities - Growing proliferation of e-commerce websites has
increased adoption of online channels among
consumers. These e-Commerce applications are
highly resource-intensive, owing to the kind of
requests that are processed simultaneously per
second. Thousands of customers visit, make orders
and pay, per second, and all this information is
needed to be stored in the database for later
retrieval. SANs are being used to store
information about high traffic databases, owing
to high performance and rapid I/O
characteristics. - Growing demand for extending remote data
application capabilities of SANs can offer major
business opportunities - Currently, the demand for SANs from enterprises
with remote data replication capabilities
extended beyond campus environments and the
limited distance ranges of SCSI has been
witnessing a significant increase. This trend is
supported by development of advanced technologies
such as SONET (Synchronous Optical Networking)
and ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode). For
instance, SONET offers a 50- millisecond recovery
time, along with extremely high resiliency,
making it a preferred choice over other transport
technologies including FibreChannel.

Market Value (US Mn), 2017 - 2027
The global Storage Area Network (SAN) market was
valued at US 17,823.4 Mn in 2019 and is forecast
to reach a value of US 23,471.8 Mn by 2027 at
a CAGR of 3.5 between 2020 and 2027.
10- Market Trends
- North America Trend
- After several years of fiscal gloom, optimism is
returning to the IT sector in North America. IT
enterprises are intensifying spending on services
along with hiring new workforce. IT enterprises
are preparing to speed ahead rapidly with
projects in potential areas of big data, mobile,
and the cloud. In March 2015, the U.S. government
offered to augment its IT investment for the
third year in a row. Moreover, the U.S.
Government is investing significantly in shared
services and cloud services for IT requirements,
hence total expenditure on in-house IT solutions
to result in comparatively lower growth. - Latin America Trends
- A number of companies in Latin America are
focused on cost reduction and converting capital
expenditure into operational expenditure. Growing
adoption of outsourcing concepts is expected to
offer major growth opportunities for IT
infrastructure outsourcing services in the
region. Frequent introduction of new concepts in
the IT sector such as big data, cloud computing,
and bring your own device (BYOD) has made it
challenging and complex for companies to manage
their own data. Hence, these companies are
dependent upon IT infrastructure outsourcing
service providers to streamline tasks related to
data storage and management.
