Global Storage Area Network Market Trends

A storage area network (SAN) is an integrated network of storage devices that is shared with multiple servers or computers, allowing for a shared pool of storage capacity. Any individual computer or system on the network can access SAN storage as easily as it was a storage drive directly connected to the machine.

• The declining costs of network infrastructure and data centres has been a major driving force for the market. Many IT companies are making an initiative to develop their network systems as the services and operational costs become more cost-effective.

• Multiple advantages, such as excellent performance, enhanced availability, and scalability of storage can offer multiple growth opportunities for the market.

• Increased utilisation of SAN with the development and growing number of small and medium-sized enterprises worldwide. SMEs are increasingly adopting SAN to utilise the advantages it provides to increase the flexibility of operations.

• The rapid development of e-commerce businesses due to the increasing number of consumers online has propelled the adoption of SAN to store important data in databases. This can help in improving data efficiencies while making it easier to access across connected devices.
