Enterprises are turning to private networks to enhance security and resiliency, according to Spirent.

"But the disaggregated private networking ecosystem, wide range of domains, technologies and diversity of user cases result in much greater complexity than the traditional wide area networks enterprises have previously relied on."

The market survey of prospective enterprises reveals that security and network resiliency are key drivers motivating enterprises to consider private networking, fuelling a market forecast to reach $7.7 billion by 2027.

"Spirent has observed firsthand how private network resiliency requirements, complexity and risk thresholds are introducing new dynamics. To ensure success, rigorous testing is essential at every step of the private network lifecycle - from network design and validation testing, field and acceptance testing, to live network operations and maintenance. Test automation and simplification are also essential for deploying and managing diverse private networks and reduce operational costs," said Cohn.

Service level management is becoming critical because private networking directly enables enterprise business outcomes which are impacted by network performance and service SLA compliance.

Increased security and network reliability are the top two business values enterprises are requiring to achieve from their private network.
