Five Trends Driving Networking Growth

Annnnnnnnd, we’re back. Those of you who follow us on Facebook and Twitter knew that we were away last week attending our International Sales Conference, so there wasn’t much blogging around these parts. If you don’t follow us, we’ll give you a couple minutes to do so now.

Ok, great. Now that we have that out of the way, I came across this article out of South Africa while waiting in the airport for my home-bound flight. It discusses five trends that are driving networking growth. The trends are based on research by IDC, and I think most of you will find the trends interesting. One item of interest is that you can see how these industry themes are not just limited to the US, but instead are global themes that companies are facing across the world. Finally, the article also hits on virtualization, a topic which we’ve discussed here and here.

Enjoy!
