The new industry research report from Technavio analyzes some of the key drivers and trends responsible for the growth of this market and its sub-segments.

Increased adoption of IoT

The popularity of smart connected devices is on a rise owing to the increase in the number of smart cities across the globe. The increase in the number of devices makes it challenging for organizations to manage, monitor, and maintain the data. This trend triggers an upsurge in the demand for M2M and machine-to-human (M2H) communications that can help end-users simplify the management, monitoring, and maintenance of connected devices. LAN as a service solution for smart homes allows smart home appliances to communicate with each other. It also provides low-cost connectivity solutions for smart connected devices for enterprise virtual private networks.

Shift from CAPEX to OPEX model

The recent shift from the CAPEX to the OPEX business model in organizations is propelling the adoption of LAN as a service solution globally. CIOs in organizations are embracing cloud-based solutions for the implementation of enterprise LAN infrastructure to scale-up or scale-down networking requirements at any point of time. LAN as a service solutions eliminate the need to maintain in-house management of networking of infrastructure to bring about cost efficiency. This enables new players in the market to avail networking solutions with the flexible pricing model.

Emergence of hyper-converged networking infrastructure

The architecture of hyper-converged networking systems revolves around software-controlled networking infrastructure for computing, networking, and storage. The adoption of cloud-based LAN solutions makes it possible to manage and increase the efficiency of the hyper-converged infrastructure. Hardware vendors in the market are currently shifting their business to virtualization, hyper-converged and software-defined technologies to provide next-generation networking and storage solutions for enterprises. The convergence of LAN and other networking infrastructure systems in organizations allows sharing IT resources for seamless M2M communications. Hyper-converged networking infrastructure provides reliable back and recovery features as opposed to traditional networking infrastructure systems.

Other prominent vendors identified in this report are Aerohive Networks, Aryaka, Brocade Communications System, Centiant International, Iricent, Microland, NetCraftsmen, Nuvem Networks, and Pertino.
