Increasing adoption of virtualized computing environments
Virtualization and virtualized computing environments are rapidly being adopted by the enterprises and end-users across the world. Virtualized computing environments simulate multiple instances of the equipment over a single physical infrastructure, which increases the load of the data transmission mediums. Fiber channel adapters are being adopted in virtualized computing environments, which support all types of data to be transmitted on a single transmission medium.
Increasing adoption of fiber channel adapters in cloud computing
Cloud computing and cloud-based applications are being increasingly adopted by the enterprises across the world to meet their computing demands. This is driving the need for high-speed data transmission mediums to be incorporated into core communication networks. Cloud computing service providers are looking for solutions that have a lower jitter and increased efficiency compared with fiber networks.
“The modern data centers that are being established are equipped with high-speed computing equipment and high-speed data transmitting equipment. These high-speed data transmitting devices need fiber channel solutions, thus increasing the demand for FC components in the market,” adds Sunil.
Evolution of fiber channel-based storage networking
The global fiber channel adapter market will witness the evolution of high-speed, low-latency, and high-performance storage facilities. These storage facilities can store and retrieve data at faster speeds. High-speed fiber channel adapter networks begin with servers in the first phase of adoption. Consequently, the other peripherals connected to the server are upgraded to support very high-speed communication.
With the adoption of fiber channel technology for data transmission, there will be a faster and reliable transmission of data across the network. Currently, the data transmission capacity of the core networks across the world is being upgraded by fiber channel adapter technology, and in the coming years, the technology will find its implementation in enterprise networks and computing peripherals.
