Technavio Releases New Global Big Data Infrastructure Market Report

LONDON, U.K., April 26 — According to the latest market study released by Technavio, the global big data infrastructure market is projected to grow at a striking CAGR of more than 33% during the forecast period to reach USD 26.95 billion by 2020.

This research report titled ‘Global Big Data Infrastructure Market 2016-2020’ provides an in-depth analysis of the market in terms of revenue and emerging market trends. This market research report also includes up to date analysis and forecasts for various market segments and all geographical regions.

The report categorizes the global big data infrastructure market into three major product segments. They are:

• Servers
• Storage
• Networking

Global big data infrastructure market in storage segment

Technavio predicts the global big data infrastructure market in the storage segment to grow from USD 3.99 billion in 2015 and reach USD 17.6 billion by 2020.

Storage used for big data requires a huge amount of data handling capacity. It also requires high input/output operations per second, which is a unit of measurement used for the number of reads and writes to storage locations, which are non-contiguous. The major types of storage used in big data are network-attached storage and clustered network-attached storage. Both are mainly used for storing large amount of unstructured data.

“Introduction of object storage is a new trend, which is expected to drive the global storage market over the next four years. It is an architecture that considers data as objects and block storage, instead of file hierarchy. Block storage treats data as blocks within the sectors. Systems such as NetApp storage grid write data as a file and read it as an object,” says Amrita Choudhury, a lead analyst at Technavio for automatic identification system.

Global big data infrastructure market in servers segment

The global big data infrastructure market in the servers segment is expected to reach USD 6.6 billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 28.73%.

Increased investment in big data implementation is a major growth driver in this market. Companies focus on increasing the performance of their current IT systems to keep in pace with the competition in the market. Also, the realization that data is a core component in determining a company’s market value is driving the adoption of big data by many countries. Commodity servers with direct attached storage are the most commonly used servers in big data. “The servers possess features such as high compute intensity, better virtualization capabilities, modular design, scaling capacity, highly efficient memory, and processor power utilization, which make it an inevitable part of big data structure,” elaborates Amrita.

Global big data infrastructure market in networking segment

The global big data infrastructure market in the networking segment is expected to reach USD 2.75 billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 36.49%.

Networking includes the connection between servers and storage. It has various connectivity options, such as wires and cables as well as routers and power controlling devices like LAN access switches, LAN compact switches, data center switches, and Ethernet access switches. One of the major drivers in this field is the increasing requirement of highly efficient cables and other networking solutions, which transfer power with lesser dissipation.
