The growing usage of e-commerce websites and expanding IT Sector are driving the market growth. Consumers have increased their use of Internet channels due to an increase in the usage of e-commerce websites. In this case, SANs are primarily used to store critical data in heavily trafficked databases in order to enhance performance and increase efficiency.
In addition, the server storage area network (SAN) market in focus is anticipated to grow owing to investments in the technology sector and a growing IT sector. India also ranked third in the world as of Fiscal Year 21 with nearly 660,000 cloud experts from all sectors, including technology. Thus, the growing IT sector, especially in developing countries, is expected to drive the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
The convergence of server SAN solutions with cloud services is a primary trend in this market. A major emerging trend in the server SAN market worldwide is the convergence of Server SAN solutions with cloud services. Organizations are increasingly adopting hybrid and multi-cloud strategies, integrating their on-premises server SAN infrastructures with public and private cloud environments. This convergence provides enterprises with several benefits and opportunities in terms of their ability to benefit from the scale, flexibility, or cost efficiency of cloud services while keeping control over critical data. One of the key advantages of converging server SANs with cloud services is the seamless data mobility it enables. Organizations can leverage the cloud for offloading less critical or temporary workloads, archiving data, and disaster recovery purposes.
Moreover, the ability to move data and workloads between on-premises server SANs and various cloud platforms allows businesses to optimize resource allocation, ensure high availability, and manage costs effectively. Businesses can easily increase storage resources through the use of cloud solutions, by exploiting demand periods, or when there are rapidly growing data volumes. This flexibility will allow companies to align their storage costs with real uses, without the need for large upfront hardware investments, resulting in cost savings and improved operational efficiency. Thus, the convergence of server SAN solutions with cloud services is one of the emerging trends, which is expected to drive the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
Cyber security challenges are a major challenge in this market. Over the last few years, there has been a significant increase in cyber threats. It is challenging for companies in a variety of sectors, e.g. BFSI and health industries, to keep their sensitive information confidential, like that relating to transactions or the use of customer data. Also, data protection authorities are enforcing stringent regulations on enterprises, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU, to protect the sensitive information of customers.
However, there are considerable security risks involved in server SAN solutions. A potential data breach may result if the required security solutions are not implemented. Therefore, enterprises must take effective security measures, such as opting for data encryption, firewalls, web application firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and deep packet inspection (DPI) solutions. The number of cyber-attacks is expected to grow during the forecast period as more devices, applications, and users are being added to enterprise networks due to the increased adoption of IoT, bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies, and mobility services. This will hinder the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the hyperscale segment will be significant during the forecast period. Hyperscale server SAN solutions cater to the unique requirements of organizations that operate on an enormous scale, such as large cloud providers, social media platforms, e-commerce giants, and other enterprises dealing with massive amounts of data. These organizations are involved in a wide variety of user-generated content, online transactions, and data processing workloads that call for storage systems to be able to effectively grow and do so at an extraordinary rate.

The hyperscale segment shows a gradual increase in the market share of USD 6.97 billion in 2017 and continued to grow by 2021. The architecture of hyperscale server SANs is characterized by horizontal scaling, where multiple storage nodes are added to the infrastructure to handle the growing data and workload requirements. In doing so, this approach enables organizations to scale up their storage infrastructure as needed while not taking any risks with performance or availability. The growing use of hyperscale server SAN solutions will drive the growth of this segment in the market in focus during the forecast period.
Based on End-user, the server storage area network (SAN) market has been segmented into large and SMEs. The larger segment will account for the largest share of this segment. Large enterprises refer to organizations with substantial scalability, complexity, and IT infrastructure requirements. A wide range of data volumes and varied workloads are often encountered by major enterprises in a variety of departments and business functions. They require a strong storage solution, which will be able to take care of demanding applications, data-intensive analytics, and large-scale data processing. Centralized management is crucial for large enterprises to efficiently administer and monitor their storage resources. They are looking for tools and interfaces to provide a consistent view of their storage infrastructure, enabling administrators to configure, provision, and monitor storage resources across multiple locations and systems. Such factors are expected to drive the demand for server SAN solutions in large enterprises, which will further boost the growth of this segment in the market.
