The increasing need for data storage is anticipated to drive the growth of the database, storage, and backup software publishing market in the future. Data storage involves the process of recording and preserving digital data on physical media. Database software plays a crucial role in organizing and managing extensive data, providing a structured and searchable format for storing information, making it easily retrievable. Backup software is essential for creating and maintaining data copies to safeguard against loss or corruption. For example, in February 2021, the Korea Data Center Council (KDCC) reported that the total capacity of colocation data centers' information technology (IT) load reached 430 MW by the end of 2020, contributing to 11% of the total APAC (Asia-Pacific) IT load. Projections by Savills Korea suggest that the overall commercial data center IT load in Korea is expected to expand by 700 MW from 2021 to 2023, constituting 15% of the total Asia-Pacific capacity. Thus, the increasing demand for data storage is a driving force behind the growth of the database, storage, and backup software publishing market.
Key players in the database, storage, and backup software publishing market are prioritizing the development of innovative solutions like secure cloud storage services to strengthen data protection and improve accessibility. Secure cloud storage is an online solution where data is stored on remote servers, accessible via the internet, and safeguarded through advanced encryption and security measures. For example, in June 2024, Veeam Software, a US-based IT company, launched the Veeam Data Cloud Vault, a secure cloud storage service designed to protect backup data with features such as immutable and encrypted storage to guard against cyber threats. This fully managed service operates on Microsoft Azure and follows a predictable subscription pricing model, covering all necessary API calls. It integrates seamlessly with Veeam Backup & Replication, enabling organizations to optimize their backup strategies while simplifying management.
Leading companies in the database, storage, and backup software publishing market are intensifying their efforts to introduce proprietary cloud databases to secure a competitive advantage within the industry. A proprietary cloud database is a database hosted in the cloud, accessible via the cloud, and developed and maintained by an organization's internal IT team. For instance, in June 2023, Huawei Technologies Co., a Chinese technology company, unveiled GaussDB, the latest iteration of its proprietary cloud database. GaussDB is the only database developed entirely in China, with both software and hardware operating in synergy. This technology has become increasingly crucial for the effective management and utilization of data, which has evolved into a critical component of production, capable of delivering added value. This represents the company's most recent innovation, offering a structured collection of information that can be searched, organized, and updated.
In May 2022, NetApp, a US-based company specializing in data storage and data management services, acquired Instaclustr for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition marks an expansion of NetApp's strategic acquisitions, allowing the company to provide a comprehensive range of cloud operations (CloudOps) capabilities. CloudOps encompasses a set of functions, resources, and processes designed to ensure the seamless operation of the underlying infrastructure and cloud-native applications. Instaclustr, based in the US, is a managed service provider that specializes in operating open-source databases in the cloud.
