Market Research Data: "U.S. Government will Spend $7.2B on DPI"

Market Research Data analysis of DPI for the US government market (here), concludes that  “The U.S. Government Deep Packet Inspection market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 36% from 2010 to around US$ 1.8 Billion by 2015. The market will see a few good years of explosive growth in all segments before going flat”

My blog covers DPI as a technology and a fundamental tool for broadband traffic management. Market Research Data recent research refers mainly to the security needs of the US government – and defines: “Deep Packet Inspection is the only currently available technology capable to provide security of IP traffic at ever growing rates that has inherent traffic management capabilities”.

These two ways to use DPI (traffic management and security) are complementary and many companies offer an integrated product (like the DPI pure players, Allot Communications and Sandvine).
