Infonetics: Data Center Security Buyers Wrestling with Network Upgrades and Massive Attack Volume
CAMPBELL, Calif. --(Business Wire)--
Market research firm Infonetics
Research released excerpts from its Cloud
and Data Center Security Strategies and Vendor Leadership: Global
Service Provider Survey, for which incumbent, competitive, data
center and cloud operators were interviewed about their strategies for
deploying security in the data center and their ratings of security
vendors.
ANALYST NOTE
"Ever-industrious hackers are churning out unprecedented volumes of spam
and malware and launching massive DDoS
attacks aimed directly at data centers every day, forcing providers to
shore up their networks and develop innovative security solutions to
protect themselves and generate revenue," notes Jeff
Wilson, principal analyst for security at Infonetics
Research.
"For the most part, data center buyers want to buy security solutions
from large, established companies who offer a broad range of
products-they have a lot riding on their security implementations, and
they need a large neck to choke if something goes wrong," Wilson
continues. "But there's always room for small providers who offer
highly-innovative solutions."
CLOUD AND DATA CENTER SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS
-
DDoS prevention systems are the #1 security platform in which service
provider respondents plan to invest over the next 12 months
-
Nearly 30% of respondents say they need 40G
ports on security gear now, with 75% saying they'll need 100G
interfaces by 2014
-
Respondents have deployed or are evaluating security products from a
massive list of vendors, and there is no clear cloud and data center
security leader
-
There is, however, a clear affinity for vendors with diverse security
offerings (hardware appliances, virtual appliances, and server
software)
SURVEY SYNOPSIS
For its 25-page cloud
and data center survey, Infonetics (News - Alert) interviewed 24 incumbent,
competitive, and data center/cloud specialist carriers in North America, EMEA

data center. The study provides insights into cloud and data center
security drivers, requirements, spending plans, deployments, suppliers,
and more, and features operator ratings of 9 vendors (Check Point,
Cisco, Dell SonicWALL, F5, Fortinet (News - Alert), HP TippingPoint, Juniper, McAfee,
