This report covers the market for flash-based solid-state drives (SSDs) in enterprise servers and SANs (storage area networks). Through a months-long series of interviews with participants in all sides of this new market Objective Analysis has developed models for acceptance in several key markets.
Key findings are:
- The market for enterprise SSDs will grow by two orders of magnitude, from 17,000 units in 2008 to over 1.7 million units in 2013, representing an average annual growth of 148%.
- Enterprise SSD revenues, which should reach $90 million in 2008, will grow at a 65% average annual rate to exceed $1 billion by 2013.
- A significant portion of this growth will be driven by a steep price decline in the SSD market driven by NAND price declines, a move from SLC to MLC flash, and other important price declines driven by a maturing of the technology.
- Enterprise HDDs are threatened by this new technology, which will initially replace enterprise HDDs at a 10:1 ratio, dropping to 3:1 by the end of the forecast period. This means that the Enterprise HDD market will shrink faster than the enterprise SSD market can grow.
The enterprise SSD market will see rapid adoption in transaction processing systems in the near term, but over the long run even stronger growth will occur in large Internet systems.
