CAMPBELL, CALIFORNIA, April 20, 2009—Market research firm Infonetics Research released the first edition of its biannual Policy Servers Worldwide and Regional Market Share, Size, and Forecasts report this week. Highlights from the report follow.
“We expect a shake-out in the policy server market over the next 12 to 18 months, with winners and losers pretty well determined by late 2010. This is a critical time for policy server vendors, as the market is quickly moving beyond the early adopter phase. To adapt to the growing number of service providers seeking the benefits of policy management, successful vendors will move away from highly customized, specialized products toward more mainstream, standardized offerings.”
Jeff Heynen, Directing Analyst, Broadband and Video, Infonetics Research
“Policy has become a critical component of service provider transformation initiatives, as it increasingly acts as a central point that ties together the subscriber, AAA, OSS/BSS, and the network, and synchronizes the requirements of these realms. As policy continues to evolve and become more sophisticated, it will enable service providers to better optimize their network resources while providing a high-quality experience to their customers.”
Shira Levine, Directing Analyst, Next Gen OSS and Policy, Infonetics Research
MARKET RESEARCH REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
- The policy server market will continue to grow in the high double-digit percents annually over the next five years, reaching $1.3 billion by 2013
- Managing accelerating bandwidth consumption and pricing resources continue to be the greatest drivers for policy server demand
- There has been a flurry of RFI activity in the policy space over the past 6 months, and sizeable deals are expected this year that will set the direction of the industry
- Alcatel-Lucent, Bridgewater, Camiant, Ericsson, Juniper, and Nokia Siemens together own 70%+ market share in the worldwide policy server market
- New policy server players are expected to arise, increasing the already intense competition in the space
- Policy server revenue from mobile network operators will quickly dwarf revenue from cable operators and fixed-line telcos as mobile operators increasingly use policy server platforms to manage network resources in their 3G data networks and to authenticate and authorize subscribers as they access streaming video, ringtones, games, and other applications
