Ethernet Storage Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Device (Switches, Adaptors, Controllers), By Switching Port (10GbE to 25GbE, 40GbE to 50GbE, 100GbE and above), By Storage Type (Block storage, File storage, Object Storage), By Application (Enterprise Data Center, Cloud Service Provider Data provider, Telecommunications, Government) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Growing server virtualization and cloud, artificial intelligence and analytics workloads have transformed the data storage architecture. Rapid adoption of cloud services for data storage creates new market opportunities for Ethernet storage.  The growing demand for enterprise mobility and support workload mobility across the enterprises are increasing the demand for Ethernet storage. Rising adoption of Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI), software defined storage(SDS) by storage architects to improve operational efficiency fuels the market growth for Ethernet storage. Demand for low latency and more bandwidth is increasing the adoption of Ethernet storage fabric across the data centers. Rise in wireless network devices increased the network traffic enables to deploy Ethernet storage to organisations for managing network path.

Ethernet storage is an efficient and fastest way to network storage. It leverages cost efficiencies, flexibility and speed of Ethernet to provide simplified management, scalability and high availability storage. It helps cloud service providers and enterprise data centers to store data in file, block, objects storage, hyper converged infrastructure and software defined storage(SDS). Further it helps to data centers disaster recovery and data replication. Ethernet storage delivers lower latency, more bandwidth and zero pocket losses, this accelerates the flash storage, machine learning, Big data and hyperconverged infrastructure(HCI) clusters. Ethernet adaptors and controllers supports storage offloads and networking including Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA), Transmission control protocol(TCP), Non-Volatile Memory Express(NVme), which reduce storage latency and free up CPU resources to improve performance.

The covid-19 had unprecedented impact on the data centers and cloud service providers. Rising adoption of cloud services for storage of data owing to covid-19 pandemic expected to boost the demand for Ethernet storage. Digital transformation across the industries such as BFSI, healthcare, education among others are increasing the number of data centers, which is anticipated to foster the demand for Ethernet storage.
