Abstract
This IDC study presents the results of an IDC survey on voice and data
networking conducted in late 2007. This survey queried decision makers in large
United States-based enterprises on their current voice and data networking
implementations, usage, and migration plans.
"Survey results indicated strong use of broadband and IP VPN solutions as well
as the continued steady migration away from frame relay, ATM, and private line
networks. It also underscored businesses' need for increased bandwidth and the
growing trend to purchase bundled solutions of WAN connectivity and local
access." - Rena Bhattacharyya, research manager, Business Network Services
