"SW-defined networks" increases VC investment stimulated by large sales transactions

Según CB Insight, las grandes operaciones de venta en el sector de «Redes definidas por software» estimulan 416M$ de inversión por parte del Venture Capital. La actividad ha incrementado un 75% interanual soportadas por las grandes mergers and acquisitions por parte de Juniper Networks y VMWare y la oferta pública de Cyan.

Las «Redes definidas por software» (SDN) proporcionan a los administradores de red la capacidad de configurar y mantener redes que utilizan software centralizado en lugar de tener que ejecutar manualmente los comandos en el hardware. Y los inversores de venture capital apuestan cada vez más a que las SDN tendrán un impacto duradero en la infraestructura de TI.

416$M of investment raised in 35 operations in the last year

Desde Q3’12 hasta el  Q2’13, 35 startups relacionadas con  SDN han recaudado casi $ 416M. El crecimiento interanual de acuerdo a las cifras de número de operaciones de los dos últimos años se ha incrementado un 75%, mientras que la financiación ha marcado casi el 45%. El pasado trimestre, 10 financiamientos SDN tuvieron lugar  en empresas como  MidokuraNetSocket and Netronome Systems with capital backed by Intel.

2.26bn$ for only 6 sales operations

The upturn in funding within the SDN ecosystem has been spurred by several large exits such as Nicira Networks (acquired by VMWare), Estela Systems (acquired by Juniper Networks) and Cian (went public). In fact, six SDN-related companies saw $ 2.26b in exit value according to disclosed data accumulated over the past two years, which is more than 320% than the $ 704M in total funding for SDN startups.
