Summary

This IDC study examines the emerging market for WAN optimization provided as a managed service by network service providers. It provides an overview of the market in Europe and profiles the capabilities of five leading operators: AT&T, BT Global Services, Cable & Wireless, Orange Business Services, and Verizon Business.

"The concept of WAN optimization via dedicated appliances is well understood, but WAN optimization provided as a managed service is new and gaining traction. IDC believes it has significant growth potential and will be relatively well protected from the current economic crisis," said James Eibisch, research director of IDC's European Business Network Services.
