Backup & Disaster Recovery Appliance Market Segment Analysis- By Deployment

The Backup & Disaster Recovery Appliance Market by deployment is segmented into on-premise, hybrid cloud, public cloud and private cloud. The hybrid cloud segment held the largest share in the Backup & Disaster Recovery Appliance Market and is expected to grow at the fastest rate over the forecast period 2022- 2027. This is primarily due to the fact that deployment of disaster recovery solutions via hybrid cloud enables users to utilize on-premise software and hardware appliances, along with recovery services in the cloud...Cloud suppliers now directly support on-premise IT with cloud-like features, through technology such as AWS Outposts or Azure Stack. In November 2021, Cloud Volumes ONTAP which is NetApp’s cloud and hybrid data management platform worked for an American EDA giant company which needed a cloud storage solution for ever-increasing complexity of semiconductor uses of cloud. With Cloud Volumes ONTAP on AWS, the company was able to - ensure data availability across multiple environments with less data replications while reducing their overall data footprint by 90% by using NetApp Flex Cache, move 100-150 PB of storage to Cloud Volumes ONTAP for scalable and use on-demand with seamless support of a fully hybrid cloud infrastructure and reduced costs. Thus, hybrid cloud deployment is in greater demand as it allows the users to use combination of cloud servers and dedicated hosting infrastructure appliances to significantly reduce costs related to the large installations.

The increasing big data demanding more storage space both in cloud and servers has also contributed to the growth of this market. In addition, North America being the home to Silicon Valley with the topmost market players which will drive this industry and its technology.

Backup & Disaster Recovery Appliance Market Drivers

The growth of big data and rising threats of cyber attacks enhances the need to have backup and recovery of the data.

Global organizations functioning across the globe use technologies like cloud computing and IoT. Eventually, the onset of pandemic accelerated the need of remote working and data management which in turn increased the scope of cyberattacks and ransomwares to hack into the data of organizations. This can potentially cause a huge financial loss for companies and loss of critical information can be misused in the future. In 2021, according to IBM Data Breach Report, the average total cost of a breach in 2021 was $4.24 million. According to the report, the average per-record cost of a breach led to 10.3% increase from 2020 to 2021. In 2022, IBM Security X-Force report observed a 33% increase in attacks caused by vulnerability exploitation of unpatched software. In 2019, according to a report by Forbes, 95% of businesses cite the need to manage unstructured data as a problem for their business. In order to avoid the losses caused by such cyberattacks and to increase the efficiency managing the big data, companies are increasing adopting disaster recovery appliances and services which assist in driving the market.

The risk of hardware corruption and its uncertain lifetime generates need of a backup and recovery system and appliances.

The failure of hardware devices cannot be predicted and so it is essential to take backup of critical documents on a real time basis. The average server lifetime is 5 to 8 years whereas hard disks lasts for 3 to 5 years and rest of the storage devices also account for certain number of years. Also the ever increasing data with the organizations creates need for backup and recovery for this data.In some cases, hardware parts such as HHDs (hard disk drives) or SSDs (Solid State Drives) might simply fail due to manufacturing errors or other failures within the production process. While the device can be replaced with the help of the warranty, data located inside might be lost forever. Natural hardware failures are not the only ones that might result in permanent data loss. In some cases, components might be mishandled – dropped on the floor, stored in incorrect conditions, and much more. In 2020, as per the article by Unitrends, hardware failures account for more than 40% of the reasons why permanent data loss occurs.

Backup & Disaster Recovery Appliance Market Challenges

It requires a strong and stable internet connectivity to utilize backup and disaster recovery appliances and services.

The biggest influence on speed is the speed of network connection to the cloud storage provider. For most on-premise situations, that is limited by the speed of the service provided by the Internet Service Provider. Only a secure, fast bandwidth can ensure that your data is reliably traveling and is getting recovered. The majority of Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) and Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) providers rely on the public internet for connectivity. Even though the internet is more secured than the past, the risk of getting hacked still persists. Any confidential or protected data in transit to the cloud or back will require encryption, which adds overhead and increases latency. The operation of these appliances requires strong and stable internet connectivity which is lacking in the developing nations for smooth operation of the technology. The companies may need to take up the extra expenditure to set up local networks with fast internet speeds across all the physical locations across the globe in the developing countries.
