Overview of the global cloud-enabling technologies market
Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global cloud-enabling technologies market to grow steadily at a CAGR of around 9% by 2021. One of the primary drivers for this market is the exponential rise in the adoption of cloud-based services. Cloud computing uses cloud-enabling technologies to simplify cloud operations for end-users. Increased adoption of these services by enterprises will lead to innovations in technologies that will make the cloud environment more efficient. This has compelled vendors to focus on improving their products to enhance cloud capabilities and remain competitive in the market. Consequently, cloud-enabling technologies will continue to evolve in several areas including performance, availability, scalability, and security. This, in turn, is expected to propel growth in the global cloud-enabling technologies market during the forecast period.
One of the latest trends gaining traction in this market is the growing implementation of software-defined networking (SDN). Network virtualization enables consolidation of multiple physical network infrastructures, which is splitting the network resources across several VMs. Also, it enhances speed and enables better A&M of the network using software elements. SDN is an evolving network architecture in which the network control and the forwarding plane are decoupled so that they can be programmed directly. This transfer of control from specific network devices to manageable computing devices simplifies the management of network infrastructure in an enterprise's environment. This advantage of SDN is expected to augment growth in the global cloud-enabling technologies market in the coming years.
