Drivers of the Market:

Global adoption of 5G networks

With 5G technology emerging at a rapid pace worldwide, it brings enormous potential for IT modernization and digital transformation. 5G offers vastly improved speed, capacity and responsiveness which unlocks new use cases that were not practical or possible before such as augmented and virtual reality applications, interactive and immersive digital experiences. As 5G networks build out globally, it will generate explosive growth in mobile data traffic volumes. This makes mobile virtualization and containerization increasingly important technologies for 5G network infrastructure and edge computing deployments. Mobile virtualization allows telcos and mobile operators to efficiently manage this traffic surge and provide flexible, on-demand network services. It helps optimize resource utilization, simplify operations and reduce costs of managing networks and applications at huge scale. Containerization further enhances these benefits by enabling lightweight, portable application packages that can be rapidly provisioned and relocated across base stations, central offices and data centers based on connectivity and usage demands. As 5G networks proliferate worldwide in the coming years, the need to deploy mobile virtualization and containerization will become integral to maximize the capabilities of 5G and monetize new opportunities it creates.

Rising adoption of multi-access edge computing

Edge computing is emerging as a fundamental architecture for 5G networks as it enables low latency services which are critical for applications like autonomous vehicles, telemedicine, augmented reality and IoT. Multi-access edge computing (MEC) provides an open platform at cellular base stations or other edge nodes to deploy disk and memory intensive applications and services closer to end users. This overcomes constraints of backhaul connectivity and reduces latency significantly. MEC is increasingly being adopted by mobile operators to offer localized services and customized experiences to subscribers. It also allows enterprises to deploy industrial IoT solutions and low-latency applications at network edges. As MEC gains widespread deployment supported by 5G infrastructure builds outs, mobile virtualization assumes high importance. It helps telcos and cloud/edge service providers to dynamically manage and optimize workload distribution across disparate edge locations based on real-time usage patterns. Mobile virtualization and containerization brings agility to deploy and update applications at any MEC server or base station on demand. This makes MEC infrastructure much more efficient, scalable and responsive to address differentiated demands of users, enterprises and vertical industry applications. Rising MEC adoption will propel the mobile virtualization market growth in coming years.
