Increased adoption and acceptability of SSDs (Solid State Drive) over HDDs (Hard Disk Drive) was visible across verticals to primarily avail better performance, longer durability and power efficiency at an affordable price. Also, the ratio of SDD vs HDD in Hybrid Flash arrays (HFA) is continuously increasing to accommodate both capacity and performance in a single array. Adoption of All Flash arrays also increased significantly amongst Telecom, Banking and IT/ITeS verticals for their performance critical applications.
Another visible trend is to increasingly deploy and utilize technologies like software defined storage, virtualization, compression, de-duplication and thin provisioning due to an exponential data growth and to optimize the existing storage infrastructure at times.
Cloud based back-up/ disaster recovery solutions are also gaining traction across organizations to avail best in class services with minimal CAPEX. This is expected to cannibalize some portion of traditional storage revenues but will open up a new class of storage buyers as well.
According to Dileep Nadimpalli , Senior Market Analyst, Storage, “Flash storage adoption will continue to grow due to the performance advantages, continuous reduction in prices and to address the I/O bottle necks between compute and traditional storage layers.”
Gaurav Sharma, Research Manager, Enterprise & IPDS, says, "With the choice of different infrastructure options like flash, hyper converged, software defined, object based etc. available in the market at interesting price points and loaded with features, the storage market is sure to see an interesting phase where customers would look to find more ways of differentiating while choosing one of them. Plain vanilla criteria of either price or performance would not help them anymore in this cluster of products in 2016."
