U.S. Managed MPLS IP VPN Services 2012–2016 Forecast

This IDC study presents the U.S. managed MPLS IP VPN services market forecast for the 2012–2016 time frame. Although the VPN market is mature, there is still plenty of room for growth, especially for medium-sized businesses, and IDC believes that the U.S. managed VPN market segment will remain an essential aspect of the WAN market over the next five years.

According to Nav Chander, research manager, U.S. Business Network Services program, "The U.S. managed IP VPN market continues to show remarkable growth across all company size and vertical segments. VPNs are increasingly a critical component of an enterprise's WAN network strategy, and managed VPNs will also enable enterprises to rely on leveraging VPNs as on-ramps to cloud-based enterprise and IT software services as enterprises plan to employ private cloud-based WAN services and applications in the coming years."
