| More "Net" Work: Network Hardware Trends
and Expenditures in the US Finance Industry |
 |
This report takes a deep dive look into
the network hardware trends and expenditures in the financial services
vertical. Network hardware categories include network interface cards,
modems, hubs, routers, LAN switches, and remote access servers. Expenditure
forecasts are provided for 2003 to 2008. Other data includes survey
feedback on planned network investments, top networking priorities
over the next twelve months, and current networking vendors of financial
decision-makers. Also included, is feedback on these decision-makers'
willingness to purchase networking products through retailers and
on-line stores.
Financial networks continue to demand greater security, manageability,
and efficiencies, including the networks running within banks, investment
houses, credit firms, and financial businesses. The finance vertical,
as well as many other verticals, are struggling to connect and secure
the disparate pieces of their growing company networks in an efficient
and manageable way. At the same time, this vertical (including small
to large firms) is looking to gain advantage and/or cost savings by
migrating from traditional TDM voice solutions to IP telephony.
