Report Description
The global software-defined anything market size is expected to register a significant CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing demand for advanced software-defined solutions from clients and consumers. Moreover, rising needs for network access from a range of portable electronic devices.
Software-defined anything (SDx) refers to advanced all-in-one networking system that allows to be accessed by different types of hardware and portable devices. SDx offers software control and integration of software system to ensure a common solution for easy datacenter management. Several technology such as Software-defined Networking (SDN), Software-defined Hypervisor (SDH), Software-defined Storage (SDS), and SDI & SDDC are primarily used to make a robust software system. Functions ranging from virtualization of the hypervisor layer to storage and management console, SDx allow to make the network devices programmable.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Rising demand for compatible network system from both traditional devices and a variance of portable devices present a key factor boosting the market.
- Introduction of advanced technology for easy data center management and better consumer experiences is likely to further drive the market in the coming years.
- Expansion of the telecommunication operators including large-scale IT infrastructure users cloud service providers is another key driver of the market.
- Lack of robust industry policy and absence of unified government regulations towards the development of the SDx technology act as major challenges that can hamper the market growth.
- Rapid expansion and integration of cloud-based platforms in data centers and demand for virtualization are offering several growth opportunities of the market.
