Organizations, large and small, have become increasingly dependent on their information technology (“IT”) network infrastructure for data access and communications, and the critical importance of network reliability, extensibility, and durability has continued to grow as the volume of traffic across those networks expands. The management, monitoring, and security of an organization’s network has become increasingly complicated in an era of growing demands from remote work, increasing connectivity points, and disparate operations, while network integrity is challenged by ever more sophisticated cyber threats. These factors are conspiring to increase an organization’s reliance on its computer networks while simultaneously making the management and maintenance of those networks more costly and complex. We are dedicated to continually improving the way organizations connect, ensuring their networks are secure, reliable, and support their continued success. Our commitment lies in empowering our customers with a seamless and dependable connectivity infrastructure that safeguards their critical data and fosters business continuity. We further aim to ensure our customers have unparalleled insights into their network operations. Through our integrated suite of software solutions, we offer our customers a reliable and secure platform to support mission-critical applications running on cloud, hybrid cloud and on-premise networks.

These solutions address a broad set of network management needs and include an integrated set of capabilities to automate the complex requirements of network optimization. The market for these network services is large, global in nature and growing at attractive rates. The total global market for SD-WAN solutions and services, our core offering, was estimated by the Maia Research Report to grow from $4.5 billion in 2022 to over $17.6 billion in 2030. The Maia Research Report also projects the total market size for SASE software and platforms to expand from $6.4 billion in 2022 to $27.2 billion in 2030, and the total market for NMS to grow from $2.0 billion to $4.4 billion over the same period. Each of these individual markets are expected to grow at a compounded rate of between 10% and 20% through 2030, with SD-WAN’s projected growth rate to be approximately 18.5% through 2030.
