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.

Market Dynamics

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. 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.
