ISG report points to rising ANZ demand for unified enterprise networks
ISG report flags rising demand in Australia and New Zealand for unified, software-defined enterprise networks to support AI workloads, hybrid work and cloud-first strategies.
Enterprises are shifting from MPLS-centric connectivity to managed SD-WAN, SASE and network-as-a-service models with automation, service assurance and integrated security.
SASE deployments are moving toward integrated architectures, driven by cyber risk, regulatory scrutiny, data sovereignty and resilience requirements.
Spending is increasing on edge networking, including private 5G, to support latency-sensitive applications, resilient site operations and operational technology integration.
BT International, Datacom, NTT DATA, Optus, Orange Business, Spark NZ, Telstra and TPG/Vocus led across SD-WAN, edge services and SASE quadrants.
