We examine the market and competitors in NFV, including virtual network functions (VNFs), NFV orchestration and NFV infrastructure – what’s working and what isn’t. We take a look at where market momentum in NFV will lead us and what looms as a potential disruptor to that future.

Enterprise Market Map Analyst: Jim Duffy Publication Date: Q2 2017 This report summarizes how enterprise networking is shifting to mobility and cloud from a wired private infrastructure in the campus and branch. Mobility is driving campus access on the front end while private/public/hybrid cloud is opening up the back end. SDN is entrusted to assure consistent policy and service across the infrastructure. The branch is morphing into a hybrid WAN of broadband and LTE augmenting MPLS VPNs, facilitated by SD WAN to, again, assure policy and operational and management consistency. We examine the market and competitors in enterprise infrastructure, including routers, switches and wireless LANs. We assess the mobility and cloud strategies of each, and what might impact or even upend these strategies down the road.

Rack-Scale Systems: When Will the Commercial Market Take Off (or Will It)? Analyst: Peter Christy Publication Date: Q2 2017 Rackscale systems (RSS) are a new datacenter equipment architecture where the componentry is removed from the legacy server or appliance box and instead mounted, powered and cooled by a new version of the equipment rack used with datacenters. RSS have been used for some time by the hyperscale cloud service providers, and they offer a spectrum of benefits including cost efficiencies, configuration agility, procurement leverage, and enabling row- and datacenter-scale application systems. There has been strong interest in bringing this kind of architecture to a broader market of enterprises and second/third tier service providers, especially since Facebook made public some of its proprietary datacenter technology and drove the formation of the Open Compute Project and Intel added rack-scale architecture (RSA) to it datacenter roadmap. This report will cover and analyze these efforts, and forecast the size and timing of these commercial markets.
