Top Impacting Factors

Rise in Demand for Data Storage

Rise in the number of online shoppers led to the emergence of e-commerce businesses. Attractive offers, ease of payment, myriad options, and convenience of shopping are some of the driving factors for the online shopping platforms. Online shopping generates enormous amount of data, which is processed and stored in data centers. In addition, e-commerce sites need to be continuously functional. Hence, data centers require proper setup with advanced systems that lead to huge infrastructure cost. Moreover, demand for storage and high-performance computing increases from oil & gas firms. This has increased the demand for software defined data center solutions, owing to  cost-effectiveness and the ability to deliver streamlined storage services. Thus, rapid increase in demand for data storage is boosting the software defined data center market growth.

Scalability and Cost-effective Solution

Presently, companies are expected to grow rapidly and their data processing and storage system must be scalable to fulfil the requirement. SDDC market is capable to perform as per the increase in work load. The major advantages in the market include cost-effectiveness and less capital expenditure (CAPEX) . As the number of hardware components required is less, these systems are easy to install and requires less human interference, thus boosting the demand for SDDC technology during the forecast period.  

Streamlined and Automated Data Center Operations

SDDC delivers streamlined and automated data center operations solution, which reduces the operational expenses (OPEX) through intelligent IT approach. It reduces the mean time to resolve any issue, which makes the system more efficient and also provides an open and extendable platform with third party integration. Thus, it improves the overall performance of the system and increases SDDC market demand, which results in market growth.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

COVID-19 pandemic positively impacted the software defined data center industry. The exponential integration of big data was the primary driver of industry development. Researchers employed technologies, such as big data and machine learning. Analyzing each patient's data and providing a remedy to limit the spread of the coronavirus from became difficult, due to surge in COVID-19 instances throughout the world. Big data aided in the analysis of datasets and the identification of trends that aided in COVID-19 detection. This has become one of the major growth factors for the software defined data center market during the global health crisis.
