TechNavio today launched its report Global Data Center Network Equipment Market 2012-2016 based on an in-depth analysis covering the Americas, and the EMEA and APAC regions. The report aims to aid decision makers’ understanding of the present and future landscape of the market.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s Data Center team said: ”The increasing virtualization in network environments is one of the emerging trends in the Global Data Center Network Equipment market. In recent years, there has been an increase in virtualization in the networking environments of data centers. Also, while customers have wanted to tune their networks, they have been limited by the constraints of existing network management tools. Virtualization has increased the deployment of multi-core and blade server platforms resulting in consolidation of the storage environment. Virtual networks can be programmed, bonded to workloads, and are scalable to demand. Moreover, they do not require physical network reconfiguration. Hence, because they are not constrained by physical boundaries, network resources can be efficiently utilized across noncontiguous clusters. With traditional networks it has been difficult to manage and integrate the systems they support and the services that they deliver. Earlier attempts to bridge this gap further increased the complexity of network configuration in terms of understanding application status and requirements, monitoring network traffic, and then acting in accordance with the configuration policy.”
According to the report, the increasing popularity of cloud services is one of the major drivers in the Global Data Center Network Equipment market. Cloud services are cost-effective and help companies in increasing their productivity. Enterprises are increasingly embracing both public and private cloud computing services. Also, customers are able to integrate various devices with a wide variety of services through the cloud according to their needs. The rapid growth in cloud computing has forced organizations to transfer enterprise applications and data to secure cloud-based hosted infrastructure. This has increased the need for data center providers to develop high bandwidth and reliable networks that can connect with this infrastructure. In addition, many governments are encouraging investment in cloud computing and the adoption of cloud computing.
Further, the report states that declining equipment prices constitute one of the major challenges in the Global Data Center Network Equipment market.
The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market. The key vendors dominating this market space are Cisco Systems Inc., F5 Networks Inc., and Hewlett-Packard Co.
