Entry Level (Smbs/ Soho) Storage Market-Demand For Control And Management Of Dat

Posted by Monali Raghuwanshi on August 7th, 2019

Small & medium businesses (SMB’s) and small offices & home offices (SoHo) across the world are emphasizing on digital trends along with enhanced and advance storage features. SMB’s and SoHo are moving toward shared storage resources in order to minimize the cost associated with storage applications. Several companies are also developing advance and modified storage systems to cater to the changing requirements of SMB’s and SoHo. Additionally, while deploying storage solutions, SMB’s and SoHo are focusing on faster collaboration, faster disaster recovery, and easy backup solutions which would help them to efficiently and effectively integrate storage devices with business applications. Similarly, several SMB’s and SoHo are also implementing hybrid strategies to enhance their storage capabilities and attain high throughput with fewer complexities and technical issues.

The growing demand for flash storage capabilities across enterprises especially SMB’s and SoHo are primarily driving the entry level (SMBs/ SoHo) storage market. Strong growth of social applications, mobiles, and technological applications such as big data and Internet of Things (IoT) are leading to the adoption of high quality and efficient storage systems. Furthermore, spending on IT infrastructure such as servers and networking devices by SMB’s and SoHo is increasing over time in order to manage and secure data hosted on- premise as well as in the cloud. Demand for control and management of data workload and less cost for storage is increasing, which is anticipated to supplement the growth of the entry level (SMBs/ SoHo) storage market over the forecast period. Apart from this, the sudden rise in video and audio streaming, IPTV, pay-per-view services, and other digital applications such as home automation has been generating a massive load of data since the past few years. This is likely to contribute to the increasing demand for entry level (SMBs/ SoHo) storage systems and devices. However, concerns related to security and durability of servers is one of the major factors adversely affecting the market. Similarly, growing demand for cloud-based and virtual solutions is expected to restraint the demand for entry level (SMBs/ SoHo) storage devices in the near future. However, limited penetration of cloud technology as compared to other developed countries and strong adoption of the on premise deployment model across some of the emerging economies such as India, South Africa, Myanmar, and Indonesia is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the entry level (SMBs/ SoHo) storage market. Furthermore, cyber security concerns associated with cloud technology is also expected to drive deployment of on premise servers across the world.
