The US managed services
market will grow at a compounded rate of 22 percent over the next five
years due to growth in all segments of the managed services value chain,
says a new market study from Insight Research. In today’s sophisticated
communications environment, it is the managed service providers that are
in the best position to assist the enterprise customer as the promise of
new IP capabilities greatly increases management complexity. Thus,
revenues associated with the managed services market will grow from $34
billion in 2006 to nearly $94 billion in 2011.
Insight’s
newly-released market analysis report,
Managed
Services in an IP World: New Opportunities for Wireless and Wired Networks
2006-2011, contends that carriers, service providers, equipment
vendors, systems integrators, and specialist companies will all
participate in the growth opportunities provided by this market. These
opportunities include broader market growth, higher margins,
centralization of support functions, and lower customer churn.
The study
differentiates the following four segments of managed services: managed
applications, managed data center services, managed LAN services, and
managed WAN services. In addition to the revenue forecasts for these
market segments, forecasts are provided for various market subdivisions,
including managed IP VPNs, managed security services, managed VoIP, WAN
extensions, managed hosting and storage, managed software as a service,
and a number of other significant areas within the managed services
domain. The report also provides Insight’s survey of outsourced disaster
recovery and storage management services by vertical industry.
“Because they can
offer around-the-clock monitoring of network performance, improved
application performance, and predictable service levels, managed service
providers are in a unique position to expand their business in an effort
to address the growth of this market,” says Robert Rosenberg, Insight’s
president. “The most significant driver may well be the growth in the
number of business locations or endpoints that connect to each other
across a WAN. When you compare the growth of establishments to the growth
of managed network connections, the increasing need for managed services
is unmistakable.”
