Abstract
This IDC Market Perspective explores the emerging trend toward convergence of key technologies including software-defined networking, security services, and edge computing. Market participants spanning technology, service, CDN providers, and cloud providers view this convergence as an opportunity to expand market reach and provide enterprises with a richer portfolio.
"The convergence of SD-WAN, security, and edge services presents a unique opportunity for network equipment providers, communication SPs, CDN providers, and cloud providers to address the wider network transformation needs of enterprises," says Ghassan Abdo, research VP, Worldwide Telecom at IDC. "For service providers, the ability to provide fully managed services will help enterprises navigate the risks associated with adoption of new technologies."
