Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c45859) has announced the addition of EMEA Metro Ethernet Services Markets to their offering.
Need for Increased Bandwidth to Spur Demand for Ethernet Services in Metro Area Network (MAN)
While business Ethernet local area networks (LANs) were primarily used in the past for internal data traffic with minimal dependence on the metro area network (MAN) or wide area network (WAN), the demand for Ethernet and high bandwidth in the MAN/WAN is currently witnessing a surge. This is due to the emergence of a web-based applications model as well as the widespread use of the application service provider (ASP) model. Several enterprises are connected at gigabit Ethernet (GigE) speeds. However, these connections ride over time division multiplexing (TDM) circuits, thereby creating bottlenecks in the transport layer. In this context, extending Ethernet to the MAN offers a considerable increase in capacity and transmission speeds, while simplifying network deployment and management.
"Legacy technologies do not allow for flexibility in provisioning bandwidth according to changes in enterprise requirements", says the analyst of this research service. "Hence, Ethernet is rapidly replacing frame relay and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks in Europe, the Middle East and Africa." New business applications, such as networked storage, distance learning, medical imaging, computer-aided design (CAD)/content addressable memory (CAM) applications demand greater bandwidth. Moreover, the outsourcing of non-core activities, distribution of sites, increase in the number of remote workers and globalisation of enterprises are fuelling the demand for increased bandwidth, thereby supporting market growth.
This Frost & Sullivan research titled "EMEA: Metro Ethernet Services Market Insight" provides an overview of the market for Ethernet services in MAN in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The study addresses the requirements of the hour as well as the policies adopted by system integrators and service providers aimed at strengthening and broadening product portfolios.
