Market opportunities creating new revenue streams for flash-based array solution providers

Increasing need for real-time data processing 

Growing adoption of cloud computing, mobile devices, Internet of Things, cognitive systems, artificial intelligence, and machine learning is driving the need for real-time data processing in order to enable delivery of efficient services, anytime, anywhere in the shortest time possible. This real-time data processing feature is fueling demand for high performance data storage systems that are in line with the requirement of the above-mentioned technologies.

Need for innovative flash array solutions for Big Data and unstructured data

Proliferation of big data and unstructured data requires innovative storage systems to store data for long periods of time as well as offer easy accessibility. Big data and unstructured data volumes are expected to register a high CAGR over the next five years. Currently, most all-flash arrays have addressed structured data at high performance transactional processing requirements. In addition, the need for efficient storage systems for unstructured data and big data is creating potential market opportunities and resulting in leading flash array vendors developing and offering innovative solutions in the market. In March 2016 for instance, Pure Storage launched Flash Blade Array to target unstructured and big data, file-access workloads, while other vendors are yet to offer such solutions.

Analyst Viewpoint

Traditional vendors are gaining market traction

Initially, in flash array market start-ups were playing a prominent role because these enterprises introduced a new revolution in the storage market through flash-based SSD – a non-movable drive that stores data on solid-state flash memory. Start-ups have implemented new innovation in terms of technical development and this new revolution has encouraged six big storage system vendors to include flash options in their storage product portfolio to sustain their position in the market.
