Niche Player: Nuage Networks
Nuage, which is owned by Nokia, has a number of WAN edge capabilities including provisioning, control, management and automation. The Mountain View, Calif.-based company is helped by close ties to communications service providers, Gartner said. Nuage's architecture is well thought out, and its road map aligns with customer needs, but the company has a very small enterprise install base and limited experience dealing with DIY customers, Gartner said.
