Software Container Market: Overview
Software
container is used for maintaining various software within a single repository.
Container helps in isolating the data and application from other existing
applications. Main objective of a container is to separate application from the
network infrastructure and operating system. It is integrated within the kernel
of the operating system and performs virtualization of the instance of that
particular application.
Software
containers make sure that any particular software would run properly after they
are moved from one computing environment to the other. Containers have gained
immense popularity during recent years due to the reduced need of using a
licensed operating system for each application stored in repository. Previously,
all the software applications were run on a separate operating system, this new
feature of containers enables the application to manage itself and receive only
those resources which are needed by it. Also, software containers provide
security from other existing applications and their harmful resources.
Software Container Market: Competitive
Landscape
Vendors
are competing to fill the gaps in container use, which includes security,
networking, data services and management and orchestration. Increasing number
of open source software projects and commercial backing received by these
projects is driving the market. Open source community efforts are preferred
compared to the vendor specific tools and services. Software container market
has high potential to grow in the future as new technologies are emerging to
improve the current architecture of containers.
Partnerships
and co-operation between the vendors and service providers in the software
container market are expected to fulfill the growing demands of implementation
and support from the enterprise segment. Startups and new entrants are
integrating with the big players to use the existing channels and provide
innovative solutions for software container requirements.

Software Container Market: Growth Enablers
Software
containers are a complete solution for changing computer environments as they
store the entire runtime environment required for an application or software
such as the libraries, configuration files, dependencies and other binaries. It
has increased the convenience for enterprises and is the main reason behind
their increasing adoption.
Containers
provide lightweight and efficient services compared to virtualization
technology. Containers have a single operating system which they share with
other containers using kernels. It results in low consumption of resources
compared to virtualization. Size of the container is only in tens of gigabytes
whereas size of the virtual machine including its operating system could be up
to several gigabytes. Due to the smaller size of containers, server can store
large number of containers compared to a few virtualization machines. Also,
boot time is reduced significantly with the help of containers. These
advantages of software containers over virtualization technologies are
increasing their popularity and driving the demand.
However,
the security capabilities of the containers could be questioned as they are not
able to provide the same level of isolation provided by hardware
virtualization. Innovative technologies are being implemented to improve the
security capabilities of the software containers.
