Abstract
This latest edition of Analysys Research's Business Data Services report
provides updated forecasts of spend on business data services, identifying the
sectors that are deploying new advanced networks and the applications that
will be key drivers of future growth. The report discusses the current state
of the market and the migration from leased lines, frame relay and ATM to
networks based on MPLS supporting IP VPNs, DSL and Ethernet. Recommended
actions for incumbent carriers, established data carriers, IP carriers,
Ethernet carriers and systems integrators are included.
This report assesses business spend across two dimensions -- services and
technology -- and the detailed approach taken to forecasts results in nearly
5000 data points. The data annex shows spend by a number of categories,
including:
- size of enterprise: large (500+ employees), SME (0--499 employees)
- country/region: France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, the UK and Western
Europe
- service: point-to-point circuits, Layer 2 VPNs, IP VPNs and Internet access
- technology: Ethernet, frame relay, ATM, broadband and SDH leased lines and
other
- management of VPNs
- access connectivity for VPNs
- spend per site
- spend per organisation.
