Telecommunication providers have been looking for ways to optimize costs and increase network efficiency over the last decade. At the same time, the industry is also witnessing a huge push for newer forms of networking that is faster, simpler and easier to manage. In this aspect, Software Defined Networking (SDN) has grown into the main technology to address this trend. Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a first of its kind networking concept that has picked up significant market traction over the last year. The technology directly helps communication providers to redirect network traffic and ease network congestion; ultimately resulting in significant cost savings that can be redirected to drive core business goals. While the SDN & network virtualization market currently stands at a nascent stage, industry consolidation is set to happen in the near future, driving better adoption with concentrated messaging among enterprises.

Some of SDN’s key attributes include a logically centralized control plane akin to the network operating system, which in turn facilitates logical mapping of the network to control applications and services implemented over it. Software Defined Networking (SDN) also bring with it a pool of exclusive capabilities such as slicing and virtualization of underlying networks. This feature essentially allows logical manipulation of a particular slice in the network, thereby increasing network flexibility. SDN promises to give more infrastructural control to data centers and network operators, by allowing enhanced optimization and customization, hence reducing their overall capital and operational costs.

The major forces driving the market include the need for mobility, bring-your-own-device (BYOD), and the dire need for reduction in carrier and data center operating expenditure (OPEX), and capital expenditure (CAPEX). At the same time, opportunities in controller applications and value-added resellers (VARs) will benefit the growth in this market. In terms of revenue, the global Software Defined Networking market is estimated to grow from $198 million in 2012 to $2.10 billion in 2017. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 60.43% from 2012 to 2017. The Software Defined Networking (SDN) market is estimated to experience a year-on year (Y-O-Y) growth of xx.xx% from 2012 to 2013, and is expected to reach xx.xx% between 2016 and 2017.

The market for Software Defined Networking will evolve gradually from being standards-driven to become a function of software development, ultimately revolutionizing network utilization and becoming inevitable. Over the next five years, Software Defined Networking is expected to become highly pervasive across telecom and enterprise networks. It is important to note that the technical definition of Software Defined Networking is far too narrow and needs to be expanded by various measures. It’s time the industry realizes the essence of Software Defined Networking, as there’s much more to it than just OpenFlow.
