The enterprise services market is undergoing dramatic realignment, with the net result that Service Providers face a significantly larger opportunity – if they execute effectively and aggressively. Enterprise Complexity = Telecom’s Opportunity A new reality is emerging in the enterprise market. For decades, CSPs have provided WANs between enterprises’ major locations. Beyond that most enterprises operated their own applications in datacenters (“locked their data in the basement”), provided limited remote access for offsite workers including travelers, configured and ran their own firewalls, and relied on relatively static VPNs and MPLS for security of traffic within that perimeter. Foundational changes are demanding new WAN networking realities and creating opportunity for CSPs. The rise of public cloud; the rise of work-at-home, the rise of digital services and business, the importance of digital supply chain collaboration. Additionally, both the sophistication of and the consequences of security threats are vastly greater. The net result is that enterprises are demanding end-to-end solutions, and telecom CSPs are best positioned to deliver those. The component parts are, in effect, the segments of our latest market forecast report, driven initially by SDWAN, and quickly followed by orchestration and observability across WAN-LAN-Cloud boundaries, integration with firewalls and other security […]
