Research and Markets: Business Data Services – 2nd Edition

The Growth in Ip Virtual Private Networks

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com) has announced the addition of Business Data services – 2nd edition to their offering.

After growing strongly through to 2002, the growth in demand for data services from businesses is slowing down as businesses continue to expect to get more for their money and to keep budgets constant. The strongest growth story in the business market is in IP virtual private networks (VPNs), while broadband and Ethernet are also growing at the expense of traditional WAN technologies such as Frame Relay and ATM.

This report assesses what sustained revenue growth might be expected, through an examination of the different experiences of different industry sectors and country markets for both corporate and SME users. It looks at the sectors in which demand for new data services are strongest and identifies the applications and the organisational changes that are driving network upgrades and growth in demand for data services.

The report includes revenue forecasts for various data services, including Frame Relay, ATM, leased lines, Ethernet and IP VPNs for France, Germany, Italy, Sweden and the UK.
