Future of Server-based Storage Market: Transformational trends for 2019

The server-based storage solutions are gaining importance and ‘all-flash arrays’ are not the only option to achieve high level of performance for enterprise applications. Server-based storage is a dedicated external storage solution built according to industry-standard servers. It creates a pool of storage that can be accessed by any application server in the environment and the approach delivers increased flexibility, and performance at a lower cost for future growth. Server-based storage is used for accelerating application performance and lowering complexity and costs in their environment. Server based storage has few advantages over arrays as it powers the vast, affordable and often under-utilized server resources by taking advantage of the existing hardware. However, unlike hyper-converged systems, it scales flexibly and does not need a material change in server sourcing. Server based storage is a quick, simple and cost-effective way of managing applications. IT also provides benefits such as elasticity, resilience, scalability and performance.

Technologies such as hyper-convergence and software-defined storage have brought server-based storage to the forefront. Organizations are focusing on a storage method which is easy to implement and upgrade and which allows them to maximize capacity resources due to remarkable growth in unstructured data. Advancement in cloud storage technologies have played an important role in the growth of server-based data storage. Other than hyper-convergence and software-defined storage, server-based storage include virtual storage appliances (VSAs), server storage area network (SANs), and distributed file systems.


The server-based storage market is experiencing high growth due to the factors such as rapid growth of unstructured data, and a need to coherently scale the data internally and into the server. Various benefits such as low-cost, high resource utilization and simplified management are estimated to help server-based storage market to grow during the forecast period.

There are few restraining factors for the server-based storage market such as requirement of customized hardware and software, vendor lock-ins, security and downtime. Server based storages are accessible only if the internet connection is online otherwise an end-user will not be able to access any of the applications or data from the storage. Additionally, as the server takes care of number of applications, there are chances of business processes to get temporarily suspended.
