Companies seek network flexibility, security
and automation in software-defined technologies and services, ISG
Provider Lens™ report says
Enterprises in Singapore and Malaysia are embracing
software-defined networking (SDN) to improve network integration,
automation, orchestration and management, in a trend expected to
continue for several years, according to a new research report
published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III),
a leading global technology research and advisory firm.
The 2022 ISG Provider Lens™ Network — Software Defined Solutions
and Services report for Singapore and Malaysia finds companies in
the region are adopting SDN so they can seamlessly add applications
and network resources to meet business and user goals more
efficiently and securely. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on
supply chains, remote work and customer experience requirements
have intensified demand for network agility.
“To remain competitive, enterprises need to become data driven,
with optimal connectivity, multi-cloud capability and end-to-end
security,” said Deepraj Emmanuel, director, ISG Asia, based in
Singapore. “These requirements are creating huge opportunities for
carriers and managed service providers operating in Singapore and
Malaysia.”
Throughout the region, LAN, WAN, WLAN and cloud connectivity are
beginning to merge, the report says. Over the next five to 10
years, SDN will allow organizations to monitor workflows and
segment networks from end to end, among other capabilities. Key
features made possible by SDN include intent-based networks, rapid
hotspot provisioning, edge computing and solutions powered by AI
and machine learning.
Security is a major, growing concern for enterprises in Malaysia
and Singapore, as in other parts of the world, ISG says. Companies
are demanding better security across all types of networks, and
expecting full security from core to edge in SDN infrastructure,
ISG says. Secure access service edge (SASE) implementations with
advanced capabilities are increasingly common in SDN
deployments.
IoT is a rising trend in Asia, with the number of edge devices
growing exponentially, the report says. This is driving demand for
edge computing to analyze data on the network before transferring
it to the central data center or cloud. While edge computing is
still a nascent technology in Singapore and Malaysia, demand is
expected to grow significantly over the next 12 to 24 months.
Common challenges to rolling out edge computing include application
formats, security, resilience and efficiency.
The report also examines other aspects of the SDN’s emergence in
Singapore and Malaysia, including the growing maturity of service
providers and how they are helping enterprises enhance their
performance with SDN.
The 2022 ISG Provider Lens™ Network — Software Defined Solutions
and Services report for Singapore and Malaysia evaluates the
capabilities of 34 providers across five quadrants: Managed SD-WAN
Services, SDN Transformation Services (Consulting and
Implementation), Enterprise Networks Technology and Service
Suppliers, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), and Edge Technologies
and Services.
The report names Orange Business Services, Singtel/NCS, Telekom
Malaysia and Wipro as Leaders in all five quadrants. It names
Verizon as a Leader in three quadrants and Cisco, Maxis and Tech
Mahindra as Leaders in two quadrants each. Cato Networks, Celcom
Axiata, HPE Aruba, Juniper Networks and NTT are named as Leaders in
one quadrant each.
In addition, TCS is named as a Rising Star — a company with a
“promising portfolio” and “high future potential” by ISG’s
definition — in two quadrants. Microland, Nuage Networks, Tata
Communications and Verizon are named as Rising Stars in one
quadrant each.
A customized version of the report is available from Tata
Communications.
