MarketsandMarkets has segmented the global SDN market by types of solutions and end-users.
The solutions’ segment comprises of switching, controllers, cloud virtualization applications, and
network virtualization security solutions; whilst the end-user markets include
telecommunications providers, cloud service providers, and enterprise data centers. The solutions
and end-user markets, along with each of their sub-segments are further bifurcated by
geographies. Geographies covered include North America (NA), Europe, Asia-Pacific including
Japan (APAC), Middle East & Africa (MEA), and Latin America (LA).
The major forces driving the market are factors such as rising need for mobility, need for new
network architecture, surging cloud services, and varying traffic patterns. At the same time,
opportunities in venture capital funding will benefit the growth in Network Virtualization
market.
SDN is finally a reality. With companies such as Google deploying its own SDN network that
interconnects all its data centres, and operators such as NTT and Verizon pushing forward with
implementing SDN soon, the market has picked up significantly in the last year. At the same
time, the industry players have become committed to SDN with shipping and announced
products. With the stakeholders coming together for silicon, hardware and software solutions for
SDN, the market is buzzing with several discussions and announcements for emerging
technology. With companies touting newer and improved networks for not only Telcos and data
centres, but extending it to campus and wide area networks (WANs), it becomes a question of
time when SDN becomes common place across networks. Although implementing OpenFlow
solutions will hit a few roadblocks in terms of mismatch between hardware capabilities and
modern switch silicon, it doesn’t mean that deployment will be impossible, rather not easy. SDN
promises a big array of optimization techniques and newer algorithms for managing traffic. Over
