What makes the APAC WAN edge market different?

The report highlights a few market differentiators that make the Asia Pacific market stand out and distinguishable. Some of these differentiators are –

• Diverse market environment – Diversity in the market ranges between different countries. The telecom infrastructure in countries like Taiwan, Singapore and Korea are booming, whereas cloud adoption is currently seen growing at a fast pace in Australia and Singapore. Though India is still in the developing phase, Nexapp is ready for the next big change. 
• Local SD-WAN equipment vendors – China and India are two such markets that are roaring with locally headquartered SD-WAN vendors. With high-quality competitive products also backed up with effective sales channels and partnerships.
• Price sensitivity – Pricing is one of the key variants. With the competition that we see in the APAC market right now, costing is something one cannot ignore. The more competition in the market, the more grapple around which company is selling the products at an affordable price.
• Unique ecosystems – A unique ecosystem consisting of a mix of IT and telecom providers, which include hyperscalers, data centre providers, telcos, strong IT majors and software/system integrators (SIs) in a particular region.

These differentiators largely focus on giving the customers the right information as to where to look to get all the solutions for their managed services and SD-WAN related problems.
