In the broadband service market, operators are shifting their vision from home broadband access to B2B private line services in the corporate market. Stimulated by the demand for cloud services, more companies need a simple, fast, intelligent and ultra-wide dedicated line service.
The advent of the cloud era has enabled many companies to begin digital transformation. Forecasts show that by 2025, 85% of enterprise applications will be deployed in the cloud, and enterprise "cloud" has become the general trend. Some countries have already upgraded enterprises to the cloud to the national strategic level.
The essence of using cloud services is to extend the corporate network into a wide area network for operators. Bandwidth will increase by 10 times the rate, and low latency is the basic requirement of cloud services, and fiber to the enterprise (FTTE) will become inevitable.
In the process of cloudification of enterprise services, many new opportunities have emerged for traditional enterprise-oriented private line broadband access services.
Due to the large amount of connected business, the original B2B connected business is facing great demand and has become a new revenue growth point for operators. However, due to changes in customer demand, private line services in the cloud era have higher requirements than traditional B2B private lines . However, the current operators’ private line networks have three major problems: first, operators are slow to respond, pricing is single, and opening time is long; second, lack of electricity Business-like experience; third, the business cannot be automated and the visibility is poor.
However, customers expect that B2B private line services can be purchased in a flexible manner on demand, at a competitive price, and can achieve rapid service opening, which can be visualized, checked, and guaranteed. To meet enterprise cloud requirements through network cloudification, it is also necessary to extend the business to the enterprise's internal network.
The "cloud" of enterprises and the digitalization of the industry have created diversified and differentiated demands for dedicated lines. Enterprises buy dedicated lines on the cloud, hoping to get e-commerce experience such as one-point instant connection and automatic activation, and do not want to spend two or three months; traditional enterprises want to obtain more cost-effective dedicated lines; financial companies want to obtain high security and low latency Dedicated line, etc.
