NFV in IoT: Technology, Market Assessment and Forecasts 2017 - 2022

Dublin, March 02, 2017 -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "NFV in IoT: Technology, Market Assessment and Forecasts 2017 - 2022" report to their offering.

An Internet of Things (IoT) system is manifest in a complex array of devices, gateways, and network infrastructure (hardware, software, platforms, databases, etc.), to provide applications, services, data and analytics. IoT system capacity, flexibility, and extensibility will be greatly enhanced through virtualization.

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is a telecom led initiative that aims to utilize standard IT virtualization technology to consolidate many telecom network equipment types onto industry standard high volume servers, switches and storage.

NFV plays the role of connecting and managing heterogeneous IoT elements in a more scalable, flexible, and secure manner. This need is especially the case for enterprise IoT as a typical large enterprise IoT architecture will consist of potentially hundreds of data centers, thousands of IoT gateways, and millions of IoT devices.

This research evaluates the market need and opportunities for NFV in IoT including the following:

- NFV, SDN, and Cloud functionality
- Use cases across industry verticals
- Leading NFV IoT vendor and solutions
- Emerging business models in NFV IoT services
- Global and Regional forecasts for NFV in IoT 2017 - 2022

Target Audience:

- Network operators
- IoT solution providers
- SDN solution providers
- Cloud-based service providers
- Virtualization solution providers
- Network infrastructure providers
- OSS/BSS and optimization companies
