Dublin, March 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Software Defined Networking Market by SDN Type (Open SDN, SDN via Overlay, and SDN via API), Component (Solutions and Services), End User (Data Centers, Service Providers, and Enterprises), and Region - Global Forecast to 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global SDN market size is projected to grow from USD 8.82 billion in 2018 to USD 28.8 billion by 2023, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 26.8% from 2018 to 2023.
The exponential increase in the size and complexity of network infrastructures in the past decade created a need for solutions to simplify and efficiently manage the entire network and the Increasing demand for cloud services, data center consolidation, and server virtualization are projected to drive the growth of the market across the globe. However, there are security concerns as a centralized controller can be the single point of attack and failure for SDN networks could restrict the growth of the market.
SDN is set to revolutionize the traditional way of networking. It physically separates the data plane and control plane by the forwarding plane of Ethernet switches (data plane) from the logical link that controls the flow of packets (control plane). The approach's aim is to eliminate the physical infrastructure limitations of networks. It offers a cost-effective, application-centric networking approach and enables network functions to be virtualized with the implementation of NFV. It results in reduced operational costs, thereby reducing latency and resulting in efficient network traffic management.
The SDN technology has been evolving rapidly over the last few years with the emergence of several major technology vendors, such as Cisco Systems, Inc., NEC Corporation, Big Switch Networks, VMware Inc., and Juniper Networks. The SDN architectural framework is set to redefine the networking infrastructure to meet the growing demand for high bandwidth. With a decoupled control plane that can be complemented with various Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based software tools, a swift improvement of the traditionally distributed control plane is feasible, enabling an intelligent and efficient network.
Key vendors of SDN solutions include Cisco Systems, Inc. (Cisco), VMware Inc. (VMware), Juniper Networks, Inc., (Juniper), Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP (HPE), Huawei Technologies Co.(Huawei), Ltd., NEC Corporation (NEC), Big Switch Networks, Inc., Ciena Corporation (Ciena), Nokia Corporation (Nokia), Pluribus Networks, Extreme Networks, Cumulus Networks, Arista Networks, Pica8 Inc., and Dell .
Most of these vendors have started to partner with major telecom and cloud service providers, along with key technologies, to enhance the capabilities of the control layer. As a result, there have been various new developments, which have not only enhanced the security framework but also the efficiency of the networks with better load balancing and automated network infrastructure optimization.
