[193 Pages Report] MarketsandMarkets forecasts the global data center fabric market to grow from $5.13 billion in 2014 to $15.14 billion by 2019, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 24.2%.



Continuously developing next-generation enterprise Information Technology (IT) architecture for data centers is enhancing the adoption and utilization of fabric in the data centers. Data center fabric market is emerging with the solutions to meet the networking demands for the virtual and cloud environments in new data centers. Fabric network reduces the tiers in the legacy network architecture, providing agility, flexibility and efficiency in operations. The traditional network is not efficient in handling east-west flow of data among servers due to virtualization of data centers. Fabric provides relatively simple network architecture than the three-tiered network, and helps in utilizing the advantages of new technologies such as virtual machines and cloud storage to the fullest.

Fabric switches play a vital role in reducing infrastructure cost by consolidating data centers. Ethernet switches and fiber channels are the building blocks for converging server and storage networking in data centers sharing common infrastructure. Fabric infrastructure is scalable enabling data centers to grow with increasing demands of the organization in future. The operational cost of networking in flattened networks reduces by huge margin when compared to the traditional networks. Rising cost of electricity, cloud adoption and big data storage requirement is motivating organizations to deploy fabric products in their data centers to reduce the overall cost of operating data centers and increase the capacity at the same time. Efficient fabric switches also reduces overhead cost of power and cooling facilities by significant margin. Growing IT infrastructure demand of organizations to enhance business performance by providing application solutions to its clients at any place and at any time require flat network architecture for the real-time analysis of information stored in physical and virtual servers. The fabric products make networking swift delivering best experience to mobile end users using applications such as online media streaming, social media and online data storage.

The data center fabric market is expected to witness huge growth in near future due to increasing trend of virtualization and cloud computing in data centers.
