[Analysys Mason]: NMS Market - $4.7B in 2011, $6.4B in 2016

A new report by Glen Ragoonanan (pictured), Senior Analyst, Analysys Mason finds that "The worldwide market for network management systems was worth USD4.7 billion in 2011 and will grow at a CAGR of 6.5% to reach USD6.4 billion in 2016 .. LTE and optical national generation access (NGA) networks are the two main technology investments that will inject growth into the network management systems (NMS) market".

".. Growth in the business services NMS market will be tempered by policy management deployments, which communications service providers (CSPs) will use to manage large volumes of IP traffic on high-speed LTE and NGA networks".

"Growth in the NMS market will be slow in 2012. Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson and ZTE have already reported poor half-year results. However, growth will return in 2013 as communications service providers (CSPs) deploy new network technologies and IP services in order to maintain competitiveness".
