Industry Trends
With the explosion of data in the information age there is a strong demand for better, faster, and more efficient ways to store, process, and serve data to the market. Servers and storage manufacturers are rapidly developing solutions for the data-hungry market. FPGAs and CPLDs are increasingly taking center stage in a variety of applications. Disk arrays, tape libraries, data security appliances, storage area network (SAN) switches, and high-performance computing servers are a few of the applications taking advantage of FPGA features (see Figure 1). Both the server and storage markets forecast strong steady growth, as shown in Table 1.

Key trends in the server and storage market include:
- Achieving high throughput and protection for data storage with RAID algorithms
- Securing/protecting data for servers and storage with encryption algorithms for data at rest (storage) and data in motion (servers)
- Increasing storage capacity without increasing cost of storage with data compression
- Monitoring and managing server farms remotely by controlling the keyboard and mouse of individual servers over an Ethernet link
- Accelerating server applications in hardware
