"The network represents the foundation for cloud computing. However, many legacy networks were not built with the cloud paradigm in mind. As the network's role in optimizing cloud-based applications becomes increasingly more important, IDC believes that more application intelligence will need to be instantiated into the networks through Layer 4-7 switch application delivery products. As a result, revenue in this market will reach nearly $2.3 billion by 2016." - Lucinda Borovick, IDC program vice president, Enterprise Communications and Datacenter Networks
