Cloud is Our Number-One Networking Initiative, Say Businesses in Infonetics' Latest SurveyBOSTON --(Business Wire)-- Market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its 2014 Network Equipment Spending and Vendor Leadership: North American Enterprise Survey, which explores enterprises' top networking initiatives, budget priorities and growth, investment drivers and barriers, and vendor preferences. ANALYST NOTE "Our just-finished survey on network equipment spending indicates the outlook for network equipment is healthy. Enterprises are expecting double-digit growth in their expenditures this year and next. How they are spending their budgets is changing, and allocations towards wireless LAN, network monitoring, and switches are growing. Greater spending on branch office infrastructure is also anticipated, a sign of confidence in continued economic expansion," notes Matthias Machowinski, directing analyst for enterprise networks and video at Infonetics Research. Machowinski adds: "One of the most interesting findings is that cloud has emerged as the number-1 networking initiative over the next 12 months. Companies are embracing the cloud in a services model as well as building their own cloud-architected data centers, and this means upgrades to network infrastructure."
