Software Defined Networks (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) Market 2015 - 2020: NFV revenues will reach $ 8.7 Billion by the end of 2020

DUBLIN, Mar. 06, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --Research and Markets

(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/p7vtww/software_defined) has announced the addition of the "Software Defined Networks (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) Market, Forecasts, and Impact on Network Operators 2015 - 2020" report to their offering.

Software defined networking (SDN) and virtualization are poised to transform network and service architecture thanks to improvements in technologies that offer improved performance and lower costs. As the border between Cloud Computing and network infrastructure continues to blur, so does the demarcation between the network as a whole and those network elements (servers, terminals, etc.) that comprise the network.

Communications Service Providers (CSP) will benefit from improved economics brought forth by Network Function Virtualization (NFV) as carriers leverage CPU virtualization and other Cloud techniques to migrate previously expensive network functions to cheaper general-purpose hardware running virtual machines.

This research evaluates the technologies, market drivers and outlook for SDN and NFV in telecommunications networks. The report assesses the implications for SDN and NFV on the telecom ecosystem and analyzes the impact of different approaches. The report includes market forecasts for SDN and NFV from 2015 through 2020. All purchases of this report includes time with an expert analyst who will help you link key findings in the report to the business issues you're addressing. This needs to be used within three months of purchasing the report.
