Data Center Security Market Share
                     Market Highlights 
Market Research Future (MRFR) provides hands-on statistics about the global data center security 
market in its latest report, which mentions that the market can achieve a growth rate of close to 
13% during the forecast period (2017-2023). 
Top Drivers and Main Barriers  
Mounting demand for high bandwidth among enterprises has been the result of the surge in the 
internet of things (IoT) and over the top (OTT) services and has boosted the need for software-
defined data centers (SDDC). Use of SDDC enables virtualization of data center infrastructures, 
which leads to maximization of the utilization of the available hardware resources in enterprises. 
With the detection of threats that can go through access controls as well as firewalls and inspection 
of data flow among servers, SDDC helps secure the virtual environment. SDDC also helps 
enterprises make use of software-controlled security policies, optimize operational performance, 
and reduce space constraints as well as capital expenditure. These appealing qualities are expected 
to boost the demand for SDDC among end-users and induce growth of the data center security 
market in the years to come.  
Rising popularity of SDDC is projected to be a significant trend that can trigger the growth of the 
data center security market in the next few years. More and more enterprises are now adopting 
hybrid cloud, multi-cloud and public cloud solutions to bring down the operational costs as well as 
the capital expenditure. Given the rising adoption of these cloud solutions, dealing with challenges 
like vendor lock-ins can become easy in the following years.  
On the downside, compatibility issues among services of various cloud vendors can expose 
enterprises to cyber-threats and attacks, which can work against the growth rate of the market 
during the review period. To cater to the rising menace of cyber-attacks, companies are providing a 
wide range of advanced security solutions. Therefore, surging threat of cyber-attacks can accelerate 
the demand for the data center security solutions market during the conjectured timeframe.  
Segmentation: 
The global data center security market share has been segmented with respect to component, data 
center type and vertical.  
Component-wise, the market segments covered in the report are solution and services. The solution 
segment can be split into logical security solutions and physical security solutions. The logical 
security solutions cater to segments like data protection, threat and application security and 
infrastructure security. Furthermore, the physical security solutions segment consists of facility 
security, perimeter security, rack level security and computer room security. Whereas, the services 
segment comprises managed services and consulting services as well as integration and 
deployment. 
Depending on the data center type, the market includes enterprise data center, large data center 
along with mid-sized data center. 
The main verticals included in the report are healthcare, BFSI, media & entertainment, IT & 
telecommunication, government & defense and others. 
Regional Outlook  
The global market for data center security has been studied extensively on the basis of Asia Pacific 
(APAC), Europe, North America, in addition to the Rest of the World (RoW).  
With an out and out study of all the growth opportunities, MRFR believes that North America has 
the highest potential to achieve the top position in the global data center security market in the 
ensuing years. surging investments in data centers, rigid regulations, along with unprecedented rise 
in cyberattacks have led the data center security market to greater heights in the region over the 
past couple of years.  
Europe is observed to be making striking progress and can even attain the fastest growth rate 
during the estimated period.  A number of enterprises in the region are increasing their 
investments in cloud solutions, on account of the new regulations pertaining to data protection. 
Data center security solutions service vendors in the region are also entering partnerships to offer 
advanced security services that can deal with any type of issue related to cybersecurity. As a result, 
the rising deployment of cloud services is expected to lay foundation for the data center security 
solutions in the region during the forecast period.
