The global data center networking market was worth USD 24.07 billion in 2023. The global market is predicted to reach USD 26.96 billion in 2024 and USD 66.76 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 12% during the forecast period.
Data center networking is the procedure of establishing and interconnecting components like storage and network-based devices in data center facilities. The market is segmented into hardware solutions and services, including equipment such as WAN optimizers, Ethernet switches, patch cables, controllers, servers, and routers that assist in the movement of network communications. The demand for data center network solutions is expected to increase due to the tilt of the cloud and the growing importance of multi-tenant and tenant facilities.
As the amount of data generated increases, there is an increasing need for backup and storage. Several storage units have deployed cloud solutions, which can be replicated easily and failover if needed.
The growing use of cloud storage is driving the growth of the worldwide data center networking market. According to Oracle, 80% of all business workloads will be transferred to the cloud. Despite the fact that the absolute number of files stored in the cloud has grown rapidly, the percentage of files containing confidential data has also increased, reaching 21%, with an increase of 17% in the past two years.
Adoption of data center virtualization and cloud computing: Virtualization is the process of training multiple logical devices from a single physical device. Companies' surge in need for real-time interaction, on-demand service delivery, efficient storage device usage, and control of data center networks have encouraged the adoption of cloud services. The rise in the adoption of cloud computing and virtualization is opening doors for various data center network products, such as virtual switches and switching operating systems, driving this market growth.
Improved service delivery and risk management: Organizations are changing their service delivery models to succeed in today's changing business landscape, which is being reshaped and aligned to meet the needs of the Internal and External Business Environment. Today's data centers offer a more dynamic and flexible infrastructure that offers a better opportunity to discover and recognize new business opportunities. Organizations are improving their geographical presence with the help of the latest technologies, increasing the call for improved security and resilience.
