Additional highlights from the Campus NaaS and Public Cloud-managed LAN Advanced Research Report:
Public Cloud-managed LAN revenue is expected to grow by double-digits in 2026 and outpace the LAN market over the next five years. Following from its acquisition of Juniper, HPE’s is maintaining two cloud management platforms, which is reassuring for existing customers, but confusing for new ones. CNaaS revenue is accelerating due to the development of new functionality and channel expansion.

LAN-as-a-Utility vendors Meter and Nile are expanding the Campus NaaS (CNaaS) market by developing channel relationships and establishing a global presence, continued Morgan, CNaaS revenue from LAN-as-a-Utility vendors, made up of highly automated WLAN and campus switches, doubled in 2025 and the elevated growth is expected to continue.
