Network virtualization market growth analyzed in a new study

Despite being an emerging technology, the demand for network virtualization (NV) is rising at a positve rate. It is used for creating virtual networks on top of Ethernet physical networks. The implementation of network virtualization has gained pace because of its ability to scale beyond the limits of vLAN thereby providing support to hyper-scale datacenter networks. Furthermore, deploying network virtualization does not require any change in underlying physical network, which is a chief factor aiding its proliferation. Network virtualization is in its initial stage of adoption but covers various competition standards, multiple open source options, and several technology suppliers.
