Emphasis on Cloud Management to Bolster the Demand for Software-defined Data Center Services

Software-defined data centers accounted for a market value of US$ 34.6 Bn in 2018 and are expected to grow with a promising CAGR of 16.4% across the forecast period from 2019 to 2027. By leveraging the capabilities of software-defined data centers, IT infrastructure enables to provide of high availability and recoverability for all workloads. Such technology offers flexible models for disaster recovery that offers to lessen downtime from the site or local failures. Similarly, a wide array of benefits was accomplished while reducing capital expenditure on hardware at both primary and recovery sites and lowering operation expenditure to manage application availability and data protection. The software-defined data center also extends consistency across hybrid as well as private clouds, thereby increasing the levels of flexibility in designing recovery, availability, and failover solutions. In the software-defined data center, everything needed to run the application is defined in software, such as networks, storage capabilities, security policies, and compute performance requirements, among others. With several other offerings over its counterparts, software-defined data centers are projected to experience significant adoption across the forecast period. 

Market Synopsis

Software-defined Data Center Networking Accounted as the Largest Contributor in SDDC Market

With the rapid development of cloud computing applications, the appearance of mega multi-tenant data centers has been increased that contain several interconnected servers. To cater to more agile requirements that emerged in modern data center networking, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is referred to as a promising approach that provides on-demand flow-based control for data centers. The software-defined network provides agility and flexibility for customizing the data center network, which is an essential element for the support of multi-tenancy. The emerging volatile network control requirements, such as path computation, QoS, and network security, are hosted on the efficient central network controller instead of the switch. With a wide array of applications, software-defined data center networking is expected to retain its dominant position across the forecast period.
