In automobiles, smartwatches, and other smart devices, they are employed. Edge computing provides cost savings, limitless scalability, and security, these are the factor that drives the market growth during the forecast period.

Storage as a Service (STaaS) is the practice of using public cloud storage resources to store your data. Using STaaS is more cost-efficient than building private storage infrastructure, especially when you can match data types to cloud storage offerings. The adoption of the Storage as a Service solution is on a steady rise among small and medium-sized enterprises as most of these companies lack the budget to implement and maintain their storage infrastructure. Moreover, businesses are using Storage as a Service solution to mitigate risks involved in disaster recovery and to enhance business continuity and availability.

Storage as a Service (STaaS) Market Report Highlight:

  • By Services Type, the cloud-Archiving segment is anticipated to lead the growth of the Storage as a Service (STaaS) market in the forecasted timeframe. Cloud backup is distinct from cloud-based data archiving. Data that is rarely accessed and that might be optimized for security and adherence to data protection regulations make up the archive. When opposed to storing and preserving substantial amounts of non-critical data in an on-premise infrastructure, archiving data in the cloud is more cost-effective.
  • By Enterprise type, the Small and Medium Enterprises segment is expected to have the highest share of the Storage as a Service (STaaS) market over the projected period. Small and medium enterprises trust again the new technologies and cloud services, but this is rapidly changing and employers must be educated about the benefits of cloud computing and the security guarantee provided by these services. The false fears derived from this innovation should not preclude the possibility of saving, making your company more competitive.
  • By end-users, the IT & Telecommunication segment is set to develop at the highest growth during the forecasted timeframe. Storage as a Service (STaaS) is popular in the gaming industry as it can manage a large volume of simulation requests. It has made its impact on IT, Technology, and Business industries. This has led to a surge in global spending in the Cloud Computing domain.
  • The Asia Pacific region is expected to have the highest share of the Storage as a Service (STaaS) market over the projected period. The adoption of digital payments, even in rural areas, and cloud computing in the IT services, which form the strengthened backbone of the Indian economy have fueled this regional market.
