Asia Pacific WAN Optimization Controller Market 2010
Frost & Sullivan, July 2011, Pages: 140
The WAN optimization controller market in Asia Pacific accelerated its growth momentum in 2010, as it grew by a robust 19.9 percent, shaking off the sluggish growth that it recorded in 2009. Improving business environment and growing enterprise acknowledgement toward the value proposition offered by WAN optimization were key in driving investments coming from Asia Pacific enterprises. In particular, the highly disparate levels of bandwidth availability across Asia Pacific meant that many enterprises were looking at the WAN acceleration technology to deliver more equitable levels of performance across their networks.

- WAN acceleration
- WAN management
This comprehensive, objective information allows your company to mitigate risk, identify new opportunities, and drive effective strategies for growth.
Market Overview
WAN Acceleration Continued to be the Dominant Technology Segment within the APAC WAN Optimization Space
Disparate Levels of Bandwidth Availability across Asia Pacific Encourage WAN Acceleration Technology Uptake
The WAN optimization market in APAC accelerated its growth momentum in 2010, as the market grew by a robust 19.9 per cent on a YoY basis, shaking off the sluggish growth rate which it recorded in 2009. With business expansion back on track, enterprises were also looking to ramp up their existing IT infrastructure, so as to cope with the anticipated business growth coming their way. In 2010, many enterprises were observed to begin reinvesting in the WAN optimization segment. The growing reliance on IT to drive business processes also meant that enterprises were forced to look at ways to eliminate inefficiencies in their corporate networks, particularly with network lags and application latency becoming more prevalent issues. “The highly disparate levels of bandwidth availability provided across the APAC region meant that many enterprises were looking at WAN acceleration technology to deliver more equitable levels of performance across their networks,” notes the analyst of this research service. “Deploying the technology had a direct impact on business aspects such as productivity, synergy, and costs.” As adoption of WAN optimization is still in a relatively early stage across markets in APAC, the market is expected to hit a healthy CAGR of 16.4 per cent from 2010 to 2017.
With WAN acceleration having introduced a new lease of life into the WAN optimization arena, the technology segment was undoubtedly riding high in the mindshare of enterprises in APAC. The year 2010 saw WAN acceleration continue to expand its market share in the WAN optimization market, as enterprise demand for WAN management solutions continued to depreciate. Compared to WAN acceleration, WAN management solutions were being viewed as secondary priority among enterprises. Corporate gravitation toward WAN acceleration was also influenced by the rapid expansion and rising importance of branch offices in the APAC arena, which drove adoption of the symmetrical devices in datacenter-to-branch setups.
Going forward, bandwidth infrastructure is expected to improve rapidly in APAC. This will rev up the importance and relevance of WAN management in optimising network performance levels. “The future of WAN optimization is likely to witness a growing shift towards WAN management, with enterprises looking at greater convergence between the two sets of capabilities,” says the analyst. “The ability to provide visibility into application traffic before accelerating them is also viewed as an approach which balances the need for faster performance with that of security, especially in the face of growing enterprise concerns relating to the integrity of their corporate networks.”
