The SAN market is expanding in new directions to incorporate device, policy, and data management layers. In addition, SAN technology is playing an important role as businesses consolidate infrastructure and solidify business continuity plans.

To take advantage of the opportunities in this market, component manufacturers, equipment vendors, service providers, and financial institutions need to answer critical business questions including:

How quickly are enterprises migrating their Fibre Channel SAN to 16 Gbps?
What is the penetration of Fibre Channel SAN in small- and medium-sized enterprises?
How rapidly are users migrating towards Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) networks?
Which equipment vendors lead the markets and who are the emerging players?

To answer these and other important questions, Dell’Oro Group delivers both quarterly reports and 5-year forecasts on the SAN market.
