Composable Infrastructure Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)

Market Overview

The composable infrastructure market is expected to grow at 21.3% CAGR during the forecast period of 2021-2026. Composable infrastructure refers to the IT infrastructure formed by disintegrating various components such as compute, networking, and storage of the data center infrastructure and integrating them in different ways as per the needs of specific workloads. Major factors that are expected to drive the growth of the composable infrastructure market are rising business analytics workload, increased customer expectations, implementation of methodologies such as DevOps, the rise of automation and standardization tools, and the increasing adoption of hybrid cloud.

• The conventional siloed IT infrastructure is unable to provide the flexibility required by the modern world’s enterprise-critical applications. Additionally, an increasing number of IT firms are shifting to DevOps methodology for application development, which needs an agile framework to keep up with the rapidly evolving application requirements and often uses an “infrastructure as code” methodology to optimize resource allocation.
• A composable infrastructure turns “infrastructure into code” with the help of an easy-to-use API. For a large enterprise, the infrastructure as code solution delivered efficiency to the IT infrastructure team with the ease and agility to deploy. For instance, in May 2020, DivvyCloud released a new Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security solution. This capability enables cloud security into the DevOps process, which improves the developer’s productivity and preventing security issues during the build process. With this newly developed solution, DivvyCloud offers seamless, full-lifecycle cloud security, ensuring that the customers can accelerate innovation using cloud services without losing control.
• Flexible and scalable app development requires a framework that leverages accelerators like reference architectures, blueprints, management tools, and native composable fabric of composable infrastructure. For example, Wipro’s “FluidIT framework,” consisting of Service Theater, ASPIRE, and composable infrastructure, delivers a programmable infrastructure ecosystem that builds the foundation of a software-defined datacenter and hybrid cloud.
• To deploy a safe composable infrastructure, vendors are following the methodologies like establishing a root of trust (RoT), and encrypting data at rest and in transit, etc. To protect against threats like cyberattacks, which can exploit the full firmware and network servers, it is necessary to establish a root of trust (RoT) that prevents servers from malicious firmware code. For example, significant vendors like Dell EMC and HPE use an RoT embedded in their hardware, by creating an unmodifiable fingerprint in the silicon. This will prevent servers from booting up unless their firmware matches the fingerprint.
• At the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, technology vendors are supporting organizations across all potential industries with their innovative composable infrastructure solutions. First Technology Inc., in a strategic alliance with Hewlett Packard Enterprise, can enable any size business to optimize its current IT infrastructure, particularly considering the harsh economic times.
• In this daunting time when organizations are struggling to keep up with their regular infrastructure needs, Pramerica Life Insurance company has achieved a milestone of 99% uptime in a stable and flexible composable infrastructure. These increasing use cases of composable infrastructure at the time of the COVID-19 situation will further boost the market growth.

Key Market Trends

IT & Telecom Vertical is Expected to Grow at a Significant Rate Over the Forecast Period

• In the current scenario, IT & telecom enterprises want to accelerate their data, apps, and innovation. This needs the ability to more efficiently manage conventional bare-metal and virtualization applications while supporting containerized applications with software-driven automation, and a fluid pool of resources that can flexibly custom fit to the specific requirements of applications. As tech firms transition from a software-defined data center to an autonomous one, IT teams required to put the insights gathered about the infrastructure and workloads into insights-driven actions to ensure an environment that is always-fast.
• For instance, in November 2019, Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced composability and integrated intelligence offerings by integrating its AI and machine learning-driven HPE Primera platform with the composability in HPE Synergy and HPE Composable Rack. It will help customers rapidly deliver new apps and innovations to boost their businesses forward.
• In May 2020, DriveScale Inc., a provider of the bare metal cloud infrastructure solutions, announced its support for Western Digital’s OpenFlex composable architecture. The significant combination of DriveScale Composable Platform and OpenFlex enables automated, end-to-end NVMe over Fabrics deployment so customers can provision compute and storage resources.
• Composable infrastructure providers like Liqid Inc. offer a low-latency PCIe fabric to connect the pools of GPUs, CPUs, FPGAs, NVMe storage, and Intel Optane non-volatile memory. The IT customers can orchestrate balanced systems for each artificial intelligence phase of data ingest, cleaning or tagging, training, and inference while minimizing the infrastructure footprint. The major technology providers will help boost the segment’s growth in the coming years by introducing these innovative offerings for the IT & telecom sector.
