Global Unified Communication as-a-Service Market 2012-2016 with Alcatel-Lucent SA., Cisco Systems Inc. and Microsoft Corp. Dominating
M2 - Thu Mar 20, 11:16AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2n95wv/global_unified) has announced the addition of the "Global Unified Communication as-a-Service Market 2012-2016" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Unified Communication as-a-service (UCaaS) market to grow at a CAGR of 25.46 percent over the period 2012-2016. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing need for centralized management. The Global Unified Communication as-a-service (UCaaS) market has also been witnessing the adoption of cloud-based enterprise services. However, the requirement for a high bandwidth could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. The key vendors dominating this space include Avaya Inc., Alcatel-Lucent SA., Cisco Systems Inc., and Microsoft Corp. The other vendors mentioned in the report are 8x8 Inc., CSC, Google Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co., IBM Corp., Mitel Networks, PanTerra Networks Inc., ShoreTel Inc., AT and T Inc., British Telecom Group plc., Deutsche Telekom AG, Orange Telecom, Sprint Nextel Corp., Telefonica SA, Telstra Corp. Ltd., and Verizon Wireless. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the Telecom team said: 'The cost of implementing a new infrastructure is high. Hence, organizations are reluctant to dispose of their existing legacy systems and install new systems. Cloud-based services are developed to help organizations minimize their infrastructure cost. They provide them with a better-quality service and reduce the cost incurred during maintenance, thus increasing the adoption of UCaaS by organizations.' According to the report, one of the major drivers is the increased need for centralized management. UCaaS manages all the administrative tasks in a centralized manner; administrators can perform the task once and the data will be updated at every relevant location. The data can be accessed and information can be communicated without time and location constraints. This improves the reliability of the system and also saves time. Further, the report states that one major challenge is the need for high bandwidth to share huge amounts of data through the cloud. As there is a scarcity of high bandwidth, this can hamper the quality of the service provided. This can delay the decision-making process in an organization, which may affect the organization's productivity and therefore adversely affect the growth of the Global UCaaS market.

Global Content Delivery Network Market 2012-2016 With Level 3 Communications Inc., Limelight Networks Inc. and CDNetworks Co. Ltd.
M2 - Fri Jul 26, 6:37AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zxt9bj/global_content) has announced the addition of the "Global Content Delivery Network Market 2012-2016" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Content Delivery Network market to grow at a CAGR of 15.73 percent over the period 2012-2016. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the uninterrupted availability of content facilitated by content delivery networks. The Global Content Delivery Network market has also been witnessing increasing development of cloud-based content delivery networks. However, high initial cost of content delivery network solutions could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: One of the main trends being witnessed in the Global CDN market is the growing pricing pressure on vendors owing to the competition among them. The market was dominated by Akamai till 2009, but the company is now witnessing immense competitive pressure from peers such as Level 3 Networks, Limelight, and CDNetworks. As a result, Akamai, which earlier used to adopt a premium pricing strategy for its CDN solutions, has reduced its prices. Hence, vendors such as Akamai are managing to attract more customers but are compromising with their margins. According to the report, the improved availability of services provided by the CDNs is driving the demand for CDNs across the globe is. CDN assets are distributed across diverse regions and have mechanisms that can automatically sense server availability and facilitate instant user redirection. Further, the report states that despite the steady growth of the global CDN market, it is challenged by the high cost factor of the CDN. CDNs are usually provided by third-party vendors. The fees charged by third-party vendors for their services are generally high, and hence it is difficult, especially for SMEs, to bear these expenses. Most deployments of the larger CDN solutions also have hidden charges along with the setup fees.

Global Unified Communication as-a-Service Market 2012-2016 with Alcatel-Lucent SA., Cisco Systems Inc. and Microsoft Corp. Dominating
M2 - Thu Mar 20, 11:16AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2n95wv/global_unified) has announced the addition of the "Global Unified Communication as-a-Service Market 2012-2016" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Unified Communication as-a-service (UCaaS) market to grow at a CAGR of 25.46 percent over the period 2012-2016. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing need for centralized management. The Global Unified Communication as-a-service (UCaaS) market has also been witnessing the adoption of cloud-based enterprise services. However, the requirement for a high bandwidth could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. The key vendors dominating this space include Avaya Inc., Alcatel-Lucent SA., Cisco Systems Inc., and Microsoft Corp. The other vendors mentioned in the report are 8x8 Inc., CSC, Google Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co., IBM Corp., Mitel Networks, PanTerra Networks Inc., ShoreTel Inc., AT and T Inc., British Telecom Group plc., Deutsche Telekom AG, Orange Telecom, Sprint Nextel Corp., Telefonica SA, Telstra Corp. Ltd., and Verizon Wireless. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the Telecom team said: 'The cost of implementing a new infrastructure is high. Hence, organizations are reluctant to dispose of their existing legacy systems and install new systems. Cloud-based services are developed to help organizations minimize their infrastructure cost. They provide them with a better-quality service and reduce the cost incurred during maintenance, thus increasing the adoption of UCaaS by organizations.' According to the report, one of the major drivers is the increased need for centralized management. UCaaS manages all the administrative tasks in a centralized manner; administrators can perform the task once and the data will be updated at every relevant location. The data can be accessed and information can be communicated without time and location constraints. This improves the reliability of the system and also saves time. Further, the report states that one major challenge is the need for high bandwidth to share huge amounts of data through the cloud. As there is a scarcity of high bandwidth, this can hamper the quality of the service provided. This can delay the decision-making process in an organization, which may affect the organization's productivity and therefore adversely affect the growth of the Global UCaaS market.

Global Content Delivery Network Market 2012-2016 With Level 3 Communications Inc., Limelight Networks Inc. and CDNetworks Co. Ltd.
M2 - Fri Jul 26, 6:37AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zxt9bj/global_content) has announced the addition of the "Global Content Delivery Network Market 2012-2016" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Content Delivery Network market to grow at a CAGR of 15.73 percent over the period 2012-2016. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the uninterrupted availability of content facilitated by content delivery networks. The Global Content Delivery Network market has also been witnessing increasing development of cloud-based content delivery networks. However, high initial cost of content delivery network solutions could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: One of the main trends being witnessed in the Global CDN market is the growing pricing pressure on vendors owing to the competition among them. The market was dominated by Akamai till 2009, but the company is now witnessing immense competitive pressure from peers such as Level 3 Networks, Limelight, and CDNetworks. As a result, Akamai, which earlier used to adopt a premium pricing strategy for its CDN solutions, has reduced its prices. Hence, vendors such as Akamai are managing to attract more customers but are compromising with their margins. According to the report, the improved availability of services provided by the CDNs is driving the demand for CDNs across the globe is. CDN assets are distributed across diverse regions and have mechanisms that can automatically sense server availability and facilitate instant user redirection. Further, the report states that despite the steady growth of the global CDN market, it is challenged by the high cost factor of the CDN. CDNs are usually provided by third-party vendors. The fees charged by third-party vendors for their services are generally high, and hence it is difficult, especially for SMEs, to bear these expenses. Most deployments of the larger CDN solutions also have hidden charges along with the setup fees.
