Top 15 Telecom
and IT Market Research Reports for August 2013
1. Traffic
Management Market worth $12.69 Billion By 2018
Traffic
management reduces congestion and promotes a regular flow of traffic. Traffic
management also proves to be money saving as it reduces the wastage of fuel. It
decreases the carbon emissions from the vehicles and thus supports to keep our
environment clean. Transport Management Systems (TMS) have been created to
generate solutions for traffic management with the advancements of Information
and Communication Technology (ICT).The traditional traffic management solutions have just reduced time and money wastage due to congestion while present technologies in TMS allow the users to plan their journeys in advance, finding the shortest route in real-time situation, provides help on demand during the journey, and reduces the carbon footprint; thus making commuting a hassle-free and enjoyable experience. The initiatives taken by government to implement TMS by executing various projects and schemes have improved the traffic management in various countries. Transportation and traffic management in any region is distinguished by the governance, economical and environmental advantages, advancement in technology and better social standards.
2. Community Cloud Market worth $ 2.49 Billion By
2018
The ongoing progress of cloud computing has given an undeniable
value proposition to the organizations for outsourcing their information and
communication technology (ICT) infrastructure. Furthermore, a rising demand for
cloud-based services and need to reduce infrastructure cost within various
industries such as financial organizations, government agencies, education
industry, gaming industry and healthcare have induced a necessity of adopting
this deployment model. Community cloud not only reduces total cost of ownership
(TCO) by sharing infrastructure and service cost but also helps in increasing
business productivity. Various governments across the globe are spending to
adopt community cloud which complies with regulatory standards that will drive
the growth of this market in the coming years. Furthermore, similar trend of
adoption can be seen at enterprise level where organizations are forming
communities to avail cloud services at a shared cost. The technologies are
built around the cloud computing technologies, with the main difference of its
applications and usage based on the functionalities, requirements and
compliance regulations followed by the organization in a particular vertical.
3. Managed
Services Market worth $256.05 Billion By 2018
The managed services domain is broadly classified into Application Service Providers (ASP) and Managed Service Providers (MSP). The Application Service providers are vendors of advanced telecommunication equipments and providers of value added managed services. The managed services providers are partners to ASP and comprise of Independent Software Vendors (ISV), Telcos, VAR and System Integrators. The MSP take the main responsibility of providing the managed services functionalities, such as support, billing and other business processes to customers. While most industry MSP offer vendor specific managed services, there is an increasing demand for expertise in vendor-neutral managed services. Most top vendors in this domain offer a vendor neutral managed services as well as cater to customer’s specific vendor requirements.
The managed services offerings usually
support a multi-vendor and multi-technology environment. Managed services
involve operational level agreement (OLA) between the ASP and MSP, wherein both
parties agree upon the service levels, quality, duration, revenue sharing and
other business rules and regulations. Service level agreement exists between
the customer and the service providers, wherein the service parameters are
based on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for a preset price. In due course of
time, certain aspects in the agreements are also varied to best match the
requirements of the customer. This includes the provision of managed services
at an hour to hour basis. Managed services ensure revival of the customer from
all the routine IT work that was handled earlier, post MSP taking over the customer’s
infrastructure, network or both, with the total ownership rights still
remaining with the end-user. The managed services market is witnessing an
increasing keen interest in managed mobility and information services.

4. Hybrid Cloud
Market by (Cloud Management, Cloud Security) worth $79.54 Billion by 2018
Organizations
adopt cloud technologies to leverage both cost savings and technical expertise
to focus on its core business. Hybrid cloud solution offers the features of
both the worlds such as public cloud and private cloud to its customers. As the
inhibitors of public cloud are the same for hybrid cloud as well, vendors are
confronted with the challenges of security and to deliver a solution that acts
as a bridge across various cloud delivery models and traditional IT. Hybrid
cloud enables the organizations to bridge the gap between multiple clouds and
provide all sizes of organizations to leverage advanced computational
infrastructures, software and services.Cloud bursting is a feature of hybrid cloud which enables an organization to shift/burst the workload into public cloud at peak times. It eliminates the requirement to construct an additional IT infrastructure to address sporadic traffic times. Such challenges are faced by many industries such as telecom, retail and so on, especially on public holidays where the phone call traffic and internet usage is at a peak is overcome by hybrid cloud solution. It also enables an organization to scale IT resources dynamically to manage these challenges. Through on-demand provisioning companies of all sizes can add resources without the need to build its own infrastructure which is time consuming and costly.

8. Energy
Security Market worth $67.90 Billion By 2018
Energy
security is one of the most important and widely used terminologies used these
days especially in the developed and the developing nations. We can define
energy security as the ability of the nation or a country to secure the power
plants and energy resources from physical attacks and cyber intrusions for
undisrupted and sustained supply of energy, to the country and its people.
Securing the energy and power resources has become very important and most of
the countries are taking firm measures to protect their power plants and energy
resources. This need for securing the power plants has increased because of the
growing terror and criminal attacks and growing sophisticated cyber attacks on
the power plants and energy resources. These power plants play an important
role in any of the countries development and are considered to be the backbone
of the nation and any attack on these power plants can paralyze the countries
development.Along with these outside attacks, there are always threats of insider attacks and lack of a comprehensive solution for securing the power plants. Many countries have made strict regulations and compliances for energy security. There are international bodies for regulating and standardizing the compliances as well. These issues of increased attacks, strict government regulations and government rules have given rise to the overall energy security market. There are companies which provide sophisticated physical security solutions which includes unmanned aerial vehicles and highly sophisticated intrusion detection and prevention system. Many companies also provide network security and cyber security solutions for preventing the complicated cyber attacks, thus securing the overall power plants from these attacks and keep the operations uninterrupted.
