The Equipment Options for Implementing Network-Based IP VPN Services
In-Stat/MDR, Dec 2005, Pages: 49
Network-based IP VPN services (MPLS IP VPN, Virtual Router, and Network-Based IPSec services) are one of the important growth areas in business networking services. This report provides a unique examination and analysis of the three categories of equipment that enable service providers to offer network-based IP VPN services. These three categories are: edge routers, multiservice switches, and other equipment.
The key new trends shaping this market are identified. Detailed profiles are given of leading vendors from each equipment category, describing their product offerings, IP VPN services enabled, other value-added services offered, product capacities, customers, and competitive strengths. Market shares for each category of network-based IP VPN equipment sales revenues in 2004 are estimated. A five-year forecast of network-based VPN equipment sales revenues is also provided.
This recent report found the following:
Service providers are selling DSL access lines to small/mid-sized businesses and branch offices as a lower-cost alternative to traditional leased lines.
End-users that are using DSL access lines to connect to network-based IP VPN services require broadband subscriber management services, and some vendors offer such services on the same platform as their VPN services.
Support for value-added security services, such as firewalls and intrusion prevention, enable service providers to generate substantial additional revenues beyond those for IP VPN connectivity services.
