Overview:

Data Protection-as-a-Service (DPaaS) is one of the most promising cloud-based service, widely used for providing data privacy and security. DPaaS market is expected to witness steady growth owing to rising demand from numerous large and medium scale organizations to secure their business data. Currently, DPaaS is one of the highly preferred solutions to fulfill need for data security services to protect continually increasing business data. Virtualization of storage devices and servers is one of the major trends gaining traction in the overall DPaaS market.

Data Protection-as-a-Service market is segmented based on delivery model into public, private and hybrid cloud. At present, private cloud holds dominance in overall DPaaS market as many large companies including Amazon.com, Inc., IBM Corporation along with Microsoft Corporation are coming up with their private clouds, capable to handle all kinds of data and applications. Furthermore, hybrid cloud DPaaS is expected to display promising growth over the forecast period as it allows to switch from private to public cloud as per the user’s requirement.

DPaaS market is further segmented by services into Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), Backup as a Service (BaaS) and Storage as a Service (STaaS). Currently, BaaS holds the highest share in overall DPaaS market. BaaS is expected to hold its dominant position in global market owing to increasing number of data centers worldwide. Similarly, DRaaS segment is also expected to witness incremental growth, as disaster recovery plans are becoming mandatory in government and BFSI vertical to protect their sensitive data on the cloud.
