Business Wire
Upcoming ISG Provider Lens™ reports
will evaluate software-defined enterprise network, Secure Access
Service Edge (SASE) and edge market
Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global
technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research
study examining providers offering a range of enterprise networking
and SDN services.
The study results will be published in a comprehensive series of
ISG Provider Lens™ reports, called Network – Software Defined
Solutions and Services, scheduled to be released in June 2024. Four
geographically focused reports will cover providers with offerings
including managed software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN)
services, SDN transformation services (consulting and
implementation), edge technologies and services (including private
5G) and SASE.
Enterprise buyers will be able to use information from the
reports to evaluate their current vendor relationships, potential
new engagements and available offerings, while ISG advisors use the
information to recommend providers to the firm’s buy-side
clients.
The study scrutinizes providers of a wide range of technologies
and services, including managed SD-WAN for enterprises, edge
technologies and services such as IoT, universal/virtual customer
premises equipment (u/vCPE), and software-defined local area
network (SD-LAN), including private mobile network delivery via
4G/5G and SASE.
“ISG Research provides solid support for decision-making to help
user organizations evaluate SDN providers’ services and
performance,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG
Provider Lens Research. “Our clear and definitive evaluations of
service providers and equipment suppliers offer buyers the most
thorough analysis of the evolving SDN market available.”
ISG has distributed surveys to more than 140 providers of
SDN-related services. Working in collaboration with ISG’s global
advisors, the research team will produce four quadrants
representing the typical SDN-related services enterprises are
buying, based on ISG’s experience working with its clients. The
four quadrants are:
- Managed SD-WAN Services, evaluating providers of
enterprise SD-WAN, including hybrid MPLS/IP WAN, that deliver
managed solutions and services managed entirely by the service
provider. These may include associated services, such as fixed or
mobile infrastructure, for new installations, replacements,
upgrades and hybrid cloud pathway installations.
- SDN Transformation Services (Consulting and
Implementation), assessing providers of services associated
with delivering SDN and SD-WAN solutions to enterprises, from
initial consulting to service delivery and rollout.
- Edge Technologies and Services (including Private 5G),
evaluating vendors of technologies including hardware and software,
management and reporting tools and applications and services
associated with edge network technology for enterprises. Edge
technologies, services, and computing are frequently used in IoT
and industrial IoT networks.
- SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) Solutions and
Services, assessing providers of SASE solutions offered to
enterprises as overarching integrated networks and security
solutions from the enterprise core to the edge. These include
solutions moving into pilots and those already deployed
commercially.
Geographically focused reports from the study will cover the
global SDN market and examine products and services available in
Germany, the U.K., the U.S., and APAC (excluding Japan, South
Korea, Taiwan, and China while including Australia/New Zealand,
Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and the
Philippines). ISG analysts Kenn Walters (Germany, U.S.) and Yash
Jethani (APAC and U.K.) will serve as the author of the
reports.
A list of identified providers and vendors and further details
on the study are available in this digital brochure. Companies not
listed as SDN providers can contact ISG and ask to be included in
the study.
All 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ evaluations feature expanded
customer experience (CX) data that measures actual enterprise
experience with specific provider services and solutions, based on
ISG’s continuous CX research. Enterprise customers wishing to share
their experience about a specific provider or vendor are encouraged
