The increasing adoption of digitalization will generate a huge amount of data that needs to be stored, driving the need for software defined data centers. This need for data centers will create a huge demand for data center services to set up, manage, and operate data centers. For instance, according to a survey conducted among 1,200 CXOs and decision-makers in 9 countries by Fujitsu and published in August 2021, during the pandemic, 82% of respondents from offline organizations had accelerated the digital transformation into their business. During the pandemic, digital became the default mode of living and working, making the organizations adapt to digitalization by creating remote work environments and digitalizing customer services. Therefore, the growing adoption of digitalization will drive the software defined data center market growth. Major players in the software defined data center market are VMware Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company, Dell Technologies, Oracle Corporation, IBM, Nutanix, Cisco Systems Inc., Huawei Technologies Co Ltd., Fujitsu Ltd., Arista Networks, Citrix Systems Inc., NEC Corporation, Hitachi Vantara LLC, SAP SE, EMC Corporation, NetApp Inc and Lenovo. Growing adoption by hyper-scale cloud is a major trend in the software defined data center market. Hyper-scale is about massive scale in computing, typically for big data or cloud computing. Hyperscale infrastructure is designed for horizontal scalability and leads to high-performance levels, throughput, and redundancy to enable fault tolerance and high availability. Hyperscale computing often relies on massively scalable server architectures and virtual networking. Hyperscale cloud solutions deliver the most cost-effective approach to addressing demanding requirements. For instance, in June 2021, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC private ltd (Government of Singapore Investment Corporation) and Equinix, a US-based company specializing in internet connection and data centers, agreed to invest $3.9 billion to build hyper-scale data centers. In May 2022, Broadcom Inc., a US-based semiconductor and infrastructure software product manufacturer, acquired VMware, Inc for $61 billion. This acquisition will provide enterprise customers with a broader range of essential infrastructure solutions, accelerating innovation and addressing the most intricate information technology infrastructure requirements. The combined solutions will give more options and flexibility to build, run, manage, connect, and protect applications at scale across varied, distributed environments, wherever they run: from the data center to any cloud and edge computing.
