The ability of cloud computing to provide an enterprise-wide array of resources that can be used to expand, coordinate, and support operations is encouraging its adoption. Furthermore, the rising uptake of cloud computing is increasing the strain on networks to deal with the flexibility, scalability, and programmability of these virtualized models. This creates various use cases for SDN solutions.
Furthermore, carriers were previously unwilling to adopt new technologies and embrace anything that might disrupt the network. However, increased pressure to reduce capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX) is forcing organizations to seek innovative technologies. The implementation of cloud computing and server virtualization has resulted in a dramatic shift in the way compute resources are deployed, scaled, and managed to maximize the benefits of their network, which is primed to supplement the market growth.

The rapid spread of COVID-19 has resulted in an increasing amount of data collected from diverse sources. The prevalent remote working trend raised the demand for cloud computing (CC) tools, which assist employees in fulfilling their responsibilities efficiently, which has promoted the development of the software defined networking market. Furthermore, with the rapid digitization across several businesses, the industry is likely to grow significantly in the post-pandemic situation.
In comparison to traditional networks, SDN provides a customizable interface that enables more application-driven behavior. Despite its rising popularity, there are not enough people with the necessary expertise to set up, operate, and protect SDN. Furthermore, as companies transitioned to a more programming-savvy workforce, the demand for highly trained people to replace network engineers with software developers increased, which has hindered industry growth. However, organizations are investing in staff training and participating in aggressive recruiting activities to compete for and hire talented individuals.
