This net is getting clearer - analysis of the current situation and trend of network market in the second half of 2003 and the second half of 2003, various manufacturers will continue to increase investment. Different IT vendors compete in high school low-end routers, switches, WLAN wireless access AP, NIC, ADSL MODEM, firewall, etc., the new round of competition patterns are in brewing. The third fourth quarter is approaching. For network equipment providers, due to the next, it takes a short season for nearly half a year. At this time, it is the last sprint phase in the year, especially for the industry market.
Broadband and security
According to news from the Chengdu Station of this newspaper: Network security market. After experiencing the competition of stand-alone anti-anti-anti-anti-virus software, the quarter turned to the competition of network version anti-anti-drug software. Wireless applications are slightly lag after the application environment is not fully mature. How to effectively deal with the maximum hidden dangers of network viruses and hackers, which are increasingly valued by users. With the development of network technology, the firewall is increasingly attached to network security equipment with very high technical content. Mr. Luo, Sichuan Information Center, believes that in the current network environment, the application is the most important. In order to better app, not only do you need to consider how to resist illegal intruders, but also ensure internal users, various commercial information, transactions and equipment security. How to ensure the security of the network will become the primary issue of our customers. As a mainstream manufacturer of home network equipment, Netgear is very fierce in recent years. The company's person in charge considers the network equipment market in China, will be a rapid growth. In the first half of this year, the impact of "SARS" causes many network projects to stagnation, but simultaneously stimulates non-contact economy such as online shopping, distance education, video conference development, new communication methods such as VPN adding, etc. to promote the networking The growth of network devices needed. At the same time, according to the analysts of TP-Link and other manufacturers, the increase in broadband access and PCs, many families are building networks to share Internet access and printers, scanners and other devices. Entertainment, home control and monitoring and remote access to home equipment from the mobile environment are all in the future application direction of home networks. At the same time, the sales volume of wireless LAN is exhibited.
Wireless local demand is obvious
The reporter interviewed some Si, they said that in industry customers such as e-government, finance, telecommunications, education, users of network equipment (including wireless, security classes), are concentrated in technical strength. Yang Pinking, General Manager of Chengdu Tianwang Technology Co., Ltd., believes that the strong powerful telecom financial sector usually uses the network or security equipment of Cisco, Huawei, trend and other manufacturers. These companies have a deep technical heritage, perfect solution, product performance is also particularly stable. He believes that it is easy to use complex business, which is something that industry users have been pursuit. Simple, more refined products will be big in the industry user group. In addition, this year, due to the user more emphasizes the mobile phone information, it is necessary to reduce the cost of building wiring or re-wiring, and as the market has cultivated as a paving by the market, the status of wireless LAN will change. Although the current social economy is generally in a state of being in a state of being, the purchase of goods in the enterprise wireless LAN continues to increase. At present, companies are only willing to spend money in a very small number of new technologies. Wireless LAN is one of them. Among them, the demand of SMEs is obvious. The domestic network equipment industry market has a greater demand for wireless and security products. The demand for users to wireless technology is reflected in the following: (1) 802.11B of product decline and ease of use. In terms of ease of use, 802.11b products have improved. Many products support any SSID settings in the default mode, so that users who are not familiar with WLAN will never encounter their previous setting obstacles when debug products, and now The network card and the control and management functions of the AP are also more detailed, and the function options provided in the software interface of the new product are more complete. (3) 802.11g is generally optimistic. (3) The security issues of the wireless network have been highly valued by various network equipment manufacturers, and all kinds of efforts are also made in product design development. The most widely used is: WEP encryption, ESSID certification and MAC control, making now The security problem has been greatly improved. In addition to basic security mechanisms, more security mechanisms are in development and development. As more and more intelligent technology is used to network edge, ease-to-use products are highly respected. In addition, economical high availability network solutions are growing. In 2003, the trend of the network core turned to improve usability. In the second half of the year, this trend will further develop, including the high availability of the network edge (including the working group polymerization point) to make it closer to the user. Because more and more people use key task applications through Ethernet, companies need to further improve high availability through distributed networks and heat exchange components when wiring.
