Software-as-a-Service Providers

Today, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is the largest segment among IT service segments (i.e. IaaS, SaaS, PaaS, etc), with a market size estimated at $17-21 billion in 2013.

The growth of the market, and with it the commoditization of cloud software services, will result in many new SaaS providers as time goes by. While these providers will have to deal with similar challenges such as data center virtualization, data security and compliance, application availability, end-user QoE, resource elasticity, etc., those providers who are able to rise above these challenges will provide the best experience for their customers. These providers will be the ones who focus on improving their applications and by doing so become market leaders who capitalize on the largest market share.

As the leading provider of integrated application delivery and security solutions for business-smart networking, Radware has developed solutions that specifically address these challenges. Radware's cloud solutions provide a variety of business benefits delivering the most focused offering in the market for Software-as-a-Service providers:
