$2.26 Bn Ethernet Storage Fabric Market by Device, Switching Port, Storage Type, Automation, & Geography - Global Forecast 2024 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Ethernet
Storage Fabric Market by Device (Switches, Adapters), Switching Port (10
GbE to 25 GbE, 100 GbE & Above), Storage Type (Block Storage,
Hyper-Converged Infrastructure), Automation (Enterprise Data Center), &
Geography - Global forecast 2024" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's
offering.

The global ESF market is estimated to be valued at USD 1.09 billion in
2018 and is likely to reach USD 2.26 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 12.7%
from 2019 to 2024.

Ethernet storage fabric (ESF) leverages the speed, flexibility, and cost
efficiencies of Ethernet, along with the best switching hardware and
software packaged in ideal form factors to provide performance,
scalability, intelligence, high availability, and simplified management.
ESF provides the foundation for the fastest and most efficient way of
networking storage. An ESF operates on purpose-built switches, adapters,
and controllers which are enhanced to offer the highest levels of
performance, lowest latencies, and zero packet loss with unique form
factors.

Currently, ESF is widely used in the enterprise data center and cloud
service provider data centers, telecommunications, and government
applications for storage and lossless network purpose. In 2018, the
enterprise data center application is likely to account for the largest
market size, in terms of value, followed by the cloud service provider
data center application.

The need for simplified data center management, rapid adoption of
Ethernet storage fabric, and a growing need for enterprise mobility to
improve efficiency are driving the growth of the ESF market. Growing
bandwidth requirements in data centers and increasing need for
technologically advanced storage solutions create lucrative
opportunities for the ESF market. However, creating compatibility with
different data center architecture poses a major challenge to the
players in the ESF market.

The market for switches is gaining traction due to their attractiveness
in terms of economics and easy deployment. Moreover, the expansion of
enterprise and cloud service provider data centers and increasing
adoption of virtualization technology boost the demand for switches with
higher bandwidth. The competitive landscape shows that the product
launches and developments were the key strategy adopted by ESF market
players during 2017-2018. Other strategies adopted by players to grow in
the ESF market during this period are agreements, partnerships,
collaborations, mergers and acquisitions, and expansions.
