Surge in Demand for Cloud Services and Virtualization is Pushing the Cloud VPN


Cloud VPN is an open-sourcemesh-networking capable communication tool. It differentiates itself from other VPNs by serving as a generic transport layer for any packet-based data traffic, which can include traditional VPN purposes, but is easily extensible to any other kind of traffic.



Cloud Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a type of VPN that operates on a cloud-based network infrastructure, which is also sometimes referred to hosted VPN or VPN as a service (VPNaaS). Cloud VPN provides a global VPN access to end users including its subscribers and third-party users over public internet. A VPN is mostly meant to permit a user, a connection to the internet over a server run by an enterprise. As most of the data or information on the server is encrypted for privacy, a cloud VPN can provide a secure access over the internet for using the private network through the virtual environment. In this report, MarketsandMarkets expects the cloud VPN market size to grow from USD 3.25 billion in 2017 to USD 8.78 billion by 2022, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 22.0%.



Key players in the cloud VPN market include Cisco Systems (US), Microsoft (US), Google (US), NCP engineering (Germany), Huawei (China), Robustel (China), Oracle (US), Contemporary Controls (US), Virtela (US), Singtel (Singapore), and Cohesive Networks (US). These players have adopted various strategies, such as partnerships, collaborations, agreements, mergers and acquisitions, and new product launches, to achieve growth in the global cloud VPN market.

Cisco Systems is among the leading players in the cloud VPN market. The fundamental objective of the company is to meet a client’s requirements and provide new advancements in cloud VPN. The company serves clients across various industries, such as government, Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI), retail, healthcare, automotive, manufacturing, IT and telecom, and aerospace and defense. The company has its major presence in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific (APAC), Middle East and Africa (MEA), and Latin America.

Cisco Systems is one of the leading providers of cloud VPN solutions and services. The company operates through various business segments, such as switching; Next-Generation Network (NGN) routing; collaboration; data center; wireless; service provider video; security; and other products. The organization follows both organic and inorganic growth strategies for expansion of its market shares. For instance, in June 2017, Cisco launched the Cisco Virtual Managed Services 3.0 Cloud VPN Service Pack v1, a cloud solution that enables customers to develop secure private network in the cloud. Similarly, in March 2015, the company collaborated with Deutsche Telekom and launched Deutsche Telekom’s Cloud VPN service in Croatia, Hungary, and Slovakia.

Huawei is another leading provider of cloud VPN software and services to various verticals across the globe. The company has a significant presence in many countries and primarily serves China, EMEA, APAC, and the Americas. Huawei’s long-term strategy includes both organic and inorganic growth strategies, where it launches new cloud VPN solutions and enhances its capabilities through acquisitions of strong companies. For instance, in February 2017, the company launched the Cloud EPN solution for interconnection of networks in enterprises. EPN supports SD-WAN and Cloud VPN. In November 2016, Huawei launched the new CloudVPN Integration Service solution. This solution overcomes the disadvantages associated with enterprise-leased line services. It also includes a variety of VAS. In December 2016, Huawei acquired 2 companies: Toga Networks and HexaTier. These acquisitions has enhanced Huawei’s network portfolio with security solutions. These developments helped the company to enhance its capabilities as well as gain a significant market share in the global cloud VPN market.
