Abstract
Product overview
The market for network management of CSP' s IP routing and Ethernet switching infrastructure is one of the fastest growing network management segments. OSS Observer forecasts that the IP/Ethernet NMS market will grow from $422 million in 2007 to $1.5 billion in 2012 with a CAGR of 29%. The major driver for CSP spending on NMS to support IP/Ethernet is the increasing adoption of IP and Ethernet technologies in CSP infrastructure. The second major driver is the increasing management functionality demanded by CSPs as IP and Ethernet technology penetrates deeper into access and aggregation networks.
This report provides a detailed five-year forecast for network-management and element-management systems for IP and Ethernet equipment. The forecast is broken out by region and service type. The report includes market shares of the leading suppliers and analysis of the 18 suppliers serving the telecoms market. It includes analysis of the market drivers and inhibitors for growth in all segments.
