Summary

This IDC study (which is a translation of the Japanese report IDC #<A href="/getdoc.jsp?containerId=J8210107">J8210107</A>) presents an analysis of the market trends and future outlook for the Japan application networking market. Users' understanding of products and accumulation of actual product performance promoted full-scale implementation of WAN application delivery products. This drove the expansion of the WAN application delivery market, which registered higher year-over-year (YoY) growth in both the Japan Layer 4-7 switch and WAN application delivery segments in 2007. We forecast that the Japan

Layer 4-7 switch segment will enjoy high growth and expand according to the increase in services offered over the Internet.

"Layer 4-7 switch vendors should develop products and product lineups that emphasize scalability and that can be adjusted to suit different businesses and scales for customers that offer Internet-based services. They should also develop products that focus on scalability by multi staging high-end devices, implementing virtualized functions, and providing licensing structures for start-up companies," says Kenichi Kusano, market analyst, Communications Research, IDC Japan.
