All-Flash Array Market by Flash Media (Custom Flash Module (CFM) and Solid-State Drive (SSD)), Storage Architecture/Access Pattern (File, Object, and Block), Industry (Enterprise, Government, cloud, and Telecomm), and Geography - Global Forecast to 2023
The overall All-Flash Array Market was valued at USD 5.9 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach USD 17.8 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 24.53% during that period. Major growth drivers are increasingly being used in data centers. Further, factors such as flexibility, installation, maintenance, and size are also driving the AFA market.
Market for CFM-based AFA market to grow at higher CAGR during forecast period
Currently, a small number of AFA vendors (such as Violin Memory and IBM) use CFMs; however, demand for CFMs is expected to increase in future because of their advantages such as less physical space, less power, and less cooling.
Block storage to be dominant in AFA market during forecast period
Block storage is often used in high-performance applications, such as databases, or for transactions because the data can be accessed, modified, and saved in real time. With advantages such as better scalability, management simplicity, built-in data protection, efficiency, and performance compared to other storage technologies, block storage is currently the preferred storage solution in the All-Flash Array Market
“RoW to register highest growth during forecast period”
The All-Flash Array Market in RoW is expected to grow at a faster rate during the forecast period. The requirement of high performance in client and enterprise applications is driving the growth of the All-Flash Array Market in RoW. In addition, advantages offered by AFA over traditional hard disk drives and the resulting replacement demand are contributing to the growth of the AFA market during the forecast period.
