Data Center Networking

This category focuses on high-performance networking within data centers, supporting server-to-server communication, storage networking, and connectivity to external networks.

Network Security

While security features are part of other categories, dedicated network security solutions form their own category, including next-generation firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, and secure web gateways.

Cloud Networking

This involves solutions for extending enterprise networks into public, private, and hybrid cloud environments, ensuring secure and optimized connectivity to cloud services.

Intent-Based Networking

An emerging category that uses AI and machine learning to automate network management based on business intent.

Network Performance Monitoring and Diagnostics

Tools and solutions for monitoring, analyzing, and troubleshooting network performance across the entire IT infrastructure.

Network Automation and Orchestration:

Platforms and tools for automating network configuration, provisioning, and management tasks across different network domains.

IoT Networking

Specialized networking solutions for connecting and managing large numbers of IoT devices, often with unique requirements for low power consumption or wide-area coverage.

Enterprise Mobility Management

While overlapping with wireless LAN, this category focuses on managing mobile devices, applications, and content.

Network Access Control (NAC)

Solutions for controlling access to network resources based on user identity, device health, and other factors.

Software-Defined Networking (SDN)

While this is more of an approach than a distinct product category, SDN solutions for centralizing network control and programmability form a significant part of the networking landscape.
