| More "Net" Work: Network Hardware Trends
and Expenditures in the US Government |
 |
This report takes a deep dive look into
the network hardware trends and expenditures in the government 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.
Government networks are very complex and becoming even more
integrated and secure across government levels because of the sharing
of information. Since September 11th, there has been a growing need
to share information, especially as it relates to terrorism, criminal
data, security threats, and emergency communications. This has driven
growth in the areas of remote access servers and local area network
switching equipment. This being said, the government vertical, including
federal, state, and local levels, is well poised for infrastructure
and network equipment investment. In fact, the state level is expected
to be the highest growth segment within the government vertical. Network
vendors must realize the importance of emergency communications and
intergovernmental communications to capture this opportunity.
