The global Network Function Virtualization (NFV) market size is anticipated to reach at USD 41 billion by 2025. The key factors responsible for the growth of the industry include the increasing need for developed network management systems to manage the increasing network complexities and traffic. NFV uses automated as well as manual techniques along with reviewing minute-level data within the network traffic.
The enterprise network comprises hundreds of network devices that include switches, workstations, hubs, routers, firewalls, virtual machines, servers, and different other network-related components. Maintaining and managing these devices requires network function virtualization solutions since the tools can provide insights into bandwidth consumption, network traffic, protocol analysis, and business applications. Different types of solutions are used in identifying threats, detection, and moderation of security attacks, along with better planning of the network in the future.
