Increase in adoption of cloud-based storage

Storing data in the cloud is proving to be an effective medium for enterprises worldwide. Commercial data requires large amounts of storage and varies between SMEs and large enterprises. With the growing amount of data generated through IoT, its on-premise storage has proven to be highly cost intensive.

Sunil Kumar Singh, a lead embedded systems research analyst at Technavio, says, "Technavio estimates that the global storage-as-a-service market will be valued at around USD 30 billion by 2020. With the growing adoption of cloud-based storage, cloud service providers have been increasingly involved in the construction of cloud data centers worldwide. These data centers are likely to be installed with advanced storage infrastructures such as flash and hybrid arrays."

Growing global demand for IoT

By 2019, we expect that there will be 30 billion Internet-connected devices worldwide, which will give a major boost to the global ECB disk storage market. The growing adoption of radio-frequency identification (RFID) solutions across sectors such as logistics and retail has led to a significant increase in the use of IoT solutions for the tracking of products and vehicles.

"Data analytics and cloud computing play a major role in connected reality. Data centers are being constantly upgraded to meet IoT data processing and storage requirements. Many businesses are involved in the opening up of data centers globally. The growing use of IoT will lead to the setting up of large data centers, micro data centers, and distributed data centers worldwide, which bodes well for the global ECB disk storage market," adds Sunil.

Increase in data center construction

Many enterprises are moving from operating on-premise infrastructure to cloud, colocation, and hosted solutions. The number of data centers will continue to grow along with the requirement for highly-efficient storage infrastructure. Converged infrastructure and hyper-converged infrastructure are also gaining ground in the global data center constructions market.

Data center infrastructure includes storage solutions and servers, as well as networking that links the physical infrastructure with web-based interfaces. Companies are investing in advanced technologies to develop highly scalable, reliable, and efficient solutions.
