Asia Pacific Software Defined Networking (SDN) Market By Solution(SDN Switching, Controllers, Cloud Virtualization Applications, Network Virtualization Security), by End Users(Telecommunications Providers, Cloud Service Providers, Enterprises), and by Countries(China, India, Japan, Rest of APAC) – Forecasts to 2019

Asia Pacific Software Defined Networking market (SDN) is an innovative approach to networking wherein the control of the network is de-coupled from the physical hardware and is handled by a software application, called “SDN Controller.” The aim behind this approach is to eliminate physical infrastructure limitations of networks. In traditional network architecture, when a packet arrives at a switch, protocols built into the switch’s proprietary firmware tell the switch where to forward the packet. The switch sends every packet with the same destination over the same path, and treats all the packets in the same way. The traditional switches do not perform the application-specific traffic routing. However, in large enterprises, smart switches are used, which are designed with application-specific integrated circuits, and are sophisticated enough to recognize different types of packets and treat them differently. But, the limitation with these switches is that they are too expensive. SDN offers a cost-effective networking approach with an aim to lower down the operational cost thereby reducing latency and performing efficient network traffic management.

Asia Pacific Software defined networking market (SDN) is an architecture purporting to be dynamic, manageable, cost-effective, and adaptable, seeking to be suitable for the high-bandwidth, dynamic nature of today's applications. SDN architecture decouples network control and forwarding functions, enabling network control to become directly programmable and the underlying infrastructure to be abstracted from applications and network services.

Today, enterprises are undergoing technology transformations, such as network virtualization and data center consolidation which in turn increases network complexity, network automation demands, and network transfer rates issue with big data and High-Performance Computing (HPC). Major problem encountered in converting network into cloud in the drop of transfer rates across the networks is the highly distributed networks with globally dispersed data centers and increased number of end-user devices. Enterprises are always on the lookout for cheap and efficient methods to manage networks as well as address the network issues faced commonly in running critical business applications.

SDN addresses these challenges by offering solutions that enables dynamic networking, real-time, and application-centric resource allocation. SDN also offers network automation, in terms of detecting and resolving potential bottlenecks. SDN advances the network in terms of direct programmability of networks, improves agility of the network, converts the network into a centrally managed one, automates the network, and orchestrates the network.

The SDN technology provides operators with several advantages including increased flexibility and performance along with simplified operations. With the emergence in 2011, the SDN concept gives network operators better control of their infrastructure, allowing optimization and customization, and thereby reducing the operational and capital costs.

Telecommunication providers have been looking for ways to optimize costs and increase network efficiency over the last decade. In addition, industries are witnessing a huge push for newer forms of networking that are faster, simpler, and easier to manage. SDN has grown into a key technology to address this trend. SDN is a first-of-its-kind networking concept that has picked up significant market traction in recent years. The technology helps communication providers to redirect network traffic and ease network congestion, ultimately resulting in significant cost savings that can be utilized to drive core business goals. While the Asia-Pacific SDN market is presently at a nascent and fragmented stage, industry consolidation is set to happen in the near future, which will improve the adoption of SDNs by enterprises, as a result of increased communication.

The market for Asia-Pacific SDN is expected to evolve gradually from being a standards-driven market to becoming a function of software development, which would ultimately revolutionize network utilization and become inevitable. Over the forecast period of 2014 to 2019, the SDN technology is expected to become highly ubiquitous across telecom networks, mainly penetrating into the enterprise networks.

The major forces driving the market include network expansion, Telco Operating Expenditure (OPEX) savings, and mobility, which are expected to positively impact the growth of the Asia-Pacific SDN market because of the rapidly-growing global demand for mobility. At the same time, opportunities in controller applications and Value-Added Reseller (VAR) products are also expected to benefit the growth of the Asia-Pacific SDN market in the coming years.

The report provides a detailed competitive landscape of the market, along with the strategic profiles of the key players in the Asia-Pacific software defined networking market. Furthermore, comprehensive descriptions of the market dynamic forces such as drivers, restraints, and opportunities have also been provided in the report.
