Not everybody is coming back to the office. This has made the web far more important than it ever was to the enterprise business. Your data can be in a data center in the cloud, and can be at home. He believes what has emerged from pandemic is nothing less than a new networking topology: “A user can be at home, at a branch, at a data center, at headquarters. Infrastructure needs to be refreshed, network bandwidth needs to go up for the IT systems and cloud migration that has been planned.”Īshwath Nagaraj is Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer with Aryaka, a provider of software-defined network connectivity. Now they’re continuing with digital transformation, which requires the network to transform as well. “It has impacted some enterprises and put some plans on hold. Song Toh, Vice President, Global Network Services with the company says it entered 2020 with great plans: “Then the world turned upside down,” he says.
Tata Communications serves enterprises around the world with managed network services. To help clarify this issue, Dunne questioned a number of stakeholders in the connectivity market to ask how the global pandemic has impacted the demand for network services, and get a feel for the longer term outlook.
Service providers need to deal with backlogs, address multi-cloud, refocus on transformation, and think about the customer experience again.” With the pandemic subsiding we hope we’re starting to see a movement back to longer term planning. Service providers that were just dipping their feet into this market had to manage this transition for their enterprise customers. And the second is ‘work from home’ and ‘work from anywhere’ solutions. So what are the big challenges for managed service providers as they seek both to emerge from a pandemic-driven slowdown and also transition to a post-MPLS world? “COVID was a major trigger that forced a lot of transitions,” says Dunne. Growth is rebounding, we’re seeing that already.”įigure 2: Challenges for managed service providers “Despite a tough year, carrier-managed SD-WAN has been one of the bright spots for the overall networking market. So where did carrier-managed SD-WAN get to after a year of lockdowns and work from home? Figures from Vertical System Group show triple digit growth for 2019, while those for last year reveal a slump of 17%. “Carrier-managed SD-WAN is certainly moving faster than certain other types of services,” she points out. But MPLS alternatives like this represent only a tiny part of the overall market opportunity, maybe around 5%. Newer markets, such as that for carrier managed SD-WAN services, have been growing fast, points out Erin Dunne, Director of Research Services with independent analyst firm Vertical System Group. MPLS is still heavily embedded and will take time to shift into the history books. And this time it’s all about things like cloud networking and connectivity defined by software. MPLS, and the dedicated IP VPN market, has had a great run of it, but now the time has come for another shift. In early 2000s, for example, there was a big transition in enterprise networks where the world migrated in short order from the likes of ATM, Frame Relay and private line networks towards MPLS which was far better tooled up for the transport of Internet-based traffic. There comes a tipping point every once in a while when one technology makes way for another that is better suited to contemporary needs.

Mais ells présentent des inconvénients devenus de plus en plus importants au fil des ans : coûteux, complexe à déployer et peu flexible, ce qui les rend mal adaptées aux exigences cloud-first de la connectivité d’entreprise de nouvelle génération. Les technologies MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switchingont bien répondu aux besoins des réseaux d’entreprise ces 20 dernières années.
