Revenue of Software-Defined Data Center Market from 2015 to 2021 Compared to Demand Outlook for 2022 to 2032

As per the Software-Defined Data Center Market research by Future Market Insights - a market research and competitive intelligence provider, historically, from 2015 to 2021, the market value of the Software-Defined Data Center Market increased at around 22.8% CAGR.

Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) use has increased across industries such as telecom & IT, BFSI, retail, and healthcare due to the significant growth in big data and its cost-effectiveness. As a result of simplified and computerized software data Center operations, the market size of SDDC is expected to rise rapidly in near future.

What Factors are Propelling the Software-Defined Data Center Demand?

The current market competitiveness and the global economic crisis have pushed the use of cost-effective strategies to restructure company models. Organizations are transitioning away from the process of purchasing and controlling hardware and adopting the dependable operations and maintenance Expenditure (OPEX) model. IT infrastructure spending accounts for a significant proportion of the companies’ overall cost.

DataCenter operators are attempting to reduce their OPEX and SDDC technologies which can help them reduce Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and contribute to overall IT performance. SDDC systems can considerably reduce total energy consumption by automatically shutting off the hardware or lowering power levels when there is no or little demand. According to a VMware analysis of SDDC IT results, SDDC OPEX was 50% lesser than general data Centers, and SDDC IT productivity rose by 67%.

A significant reduction in OPEX is projected to make an impact on the company's overall financial performance. The integrated management of data Centers enables a unified interface control, which aids in enhancing efficiency and minimizing data Center costs and administration time. As per the Enterprise Strategy Group's 2018 poll, 49% of respondents believed that they were considerably ahead of their competitors in terms of the economic benefits of deploying Software-Defined Networking (SDN) which has increased the demand for SDDC globally.

The rapidly changing IT landscape is a key driving force for the demand for software-defined data centers. Organizations are using software-defined data Centers to boost IT agility and reduce IT infrastructure complexity. It will aid in the standardization of management solutions across infrastructure layers, allowing policy-driven provisions and pooled infrastructure resources to respond to new IT resource needs more quickly. It also enables end-user IT managers to cut operating expenses, chart a course for end-use modernization, and maintain control over provisioning. It enables apps to supply IT resources independently, and when appropriate software is deployed, the effort of an administration may be reduced significantly or totally in some circumstances. Such variables are the key drivers of the Software-Defined Data Center Market.

End-user businesses' desire to cut capital expenditure by reducing the data center footprint is fuelling industry growth. The technology simplifies and automates data Center operations, assisting end-user organizations in driving operational efficiency. The rapid use of modern technologies such as cloud, IoT, and AI is expected to increase demand for SDDC solutions. Its cloud management provides end-user organizations with an end-to-end overview of infrastructure services as well as significant capital investment savings via capacity planning and machine learning.

Category-wise Insights

Which Software-Defined Data Center Segment is Projected to Witness Fastest Growth among Software-Defined Data Center Interface by Component?

The hardware segment is forecasted to grow at the highest CAGR of around 19.5% from 2022 to 2032. SDDC eliminates the need for businesses to purchase hardware, and acquire vendor-specific skills to manage and execute it or manage physical machine changes. It increases resource management in the firm, resulting in greater overall efficiency.

In addition, the popularity of software-defined data Centers is increasing to ensure more control and administration of both hardware and software. According to a Computer World white paper, up to 13% of servers acquired over the coming years would be used to handle machine learning, predictive analytics, and artificial intelligence in software-defined data Centers. Firms, on the other hand, may underestimate the challenges of employing obsolete platforms and maintaining new IT infrastructure.

Which deployment mode of Software-Defined Data Center is expected to Score the Highest Growth in the Coming Years?

The Software-Defined Computing (SDC) segment is forecasted to grow at the highest CAGR of around 18.7% from 2022 to 2032. Due to the popularity of the cloud-native application, SDC accounts for a large market share. A cloud-native application uses cloud computing concepts to decrease deployment risks while improving performance, service flexibility, and quality. Cloud-native apps are compatible with both on-premises as well as cloud application platforms.

One of the primary benefits of software-defined computing is that it allows infrastructure to become more adaptable, allowing them to serve several clients or consumers simultaneously. The infrastructure may be divided into components that can be provided on demand using virtualization technologies. This has been a defining feature of the cloud services revolution.

Virtualization and software-defined computing have also resulted in the software-defined data Center, in which all a data Center’s technological components are virtualized and represented as software functions. Network administrators may expedite many management operations by streamlining the data center and making it more readily scalable by utilizing software-defined computing and virtualization.
