Rising Demand for High-Performance and Scalable Storage Solutions
Enterprises across India are rapidly adopting high-performance storage area network (SAN) systems to support growing data volumes and demanding application workloads. The shift is driven by the widespread use of data-intensive technologies—59% of large Indian enterprises (with over 1,000 employees) are already deploying artificial intelligence (AI) in their operations. This surge in AI, along with machine learning, big data analytics, and IoT, is pushing organizations toward faster, scalable, and low-latency storage architectures. Traditional setups are being replaced with modern all-flash and hybrid SAN solutions that deliver higher input/output operations per second (IOPS) and lower latency. Scalability is now essential, with enterprises requiring flexible storage that evolves with business needs. As digital transformation gains pace across BFSI, healthcare, and manufacturing, the demand for resilient, high-throughput SAN environments is playing a key role in shaping India’s next-generation enterprise IT infrastructure.
Transition Towards NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF)
The India server SAN market is evolving slowly from conventional protocols such as iSCSI and Fibre Channel to cutting-edge technologies such as NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF). This is motivated by the demand for extremely fast data access and diminished network bottlenecks. NVMe-oF provides better performance with reduced latency and higher throughput, which is suitable for future-proof applications and real-time analytics. With businesses looking for quicker data processing, NVMe-oF is becoming an attractive choice for mission-critical workloads. Increasing awareness and decreasing costs of implementation are also motivating businesses to adopt it in mid-sized and large enterprises. This change in SAN protocol standards is revolutionizing India's data center architecture with increased efficiency and better performance-to-price ratio.
Integration of SAN with Cloud and Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI)
The merging of SAN storage with cloud computing and hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) is gaining pace in India due to the impetus for agile, digital-first enterprise operations. Companies are embracing hybrid models that connect on-premises SAN systems with public and private cloud platforms to enhance data mobility, disaster recovery, and scalability. HCI solutions, combining compute, storage, and networking, are simplifying deployment and offering cost-efficient storage alternatives. This shift aligns with Microsoft’s announcement to invest $3 billion over the next two years to expand its cloud and AI infrastructure in India—its largest investment in the country to date. Such major investments are bolstering India's digital spine and allowing businesses to implement SAN, HCI, and cloud technologies in a more efficient manner. The outcome is better operational agility, centralized data handling, and more robust support for virtualized, multi-cloud deployments.
