As service providers continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, the important lessons learned around growth of ecommerce, strong adoption of cloud services, growth of streaming video, and move to hybrid workforce will drive the trends that we expect to see in this market throughout the year."SD-WAN, CDN, and edge services are undergoing a transformation that will engender convergence among these technologies. This will spur new services and commercial models that will create new monetization opportunities for service providers. The developer ecosystem will be a key enabler of these innovative services," says Ghassan Abdo, research VP, Worldwide Telecom, Virtualization, and CDN.
