Market perspective

Virtualization is enabling networking to design, implement, and manage network services far more efficiently than all premise bases. Among virtualization, SND and NFV are the two key technologies enabling the transition.

Two technology trends that are transforming network management, particularly those that are widely-distributed and employ public, private or hybrid cloud services, are software-defined networks (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV).

North America, Europe, APAC are the representative regions, and the local vendors play important roles. NFV is expected to be more than SDN market, and has higher growth rate in the following years. The application field is mainly in Telecom and IT, BFSI, Government and Public Utilities currently. In addition, wider application scenario such as medical, energy and education will rise in the future.
