Increasing Demands Need High Bandwidth
Due to an increase in applications which rely on high bandwidth availability, such as multimedia and video applications, a greater strain has been put on existing networks. With the increase in the number of servers and larger storage devices, along with more and more streaming content, businesses often find there is a decline in productivity and network performance leading to users becoming dissatisfied with the existing network.

Unprecedented Growth in Network, Applications and Users
Networks which are presently reaching their capacity, or already struggling under the extra burden placed upon it are finding that in the near future, their network will be wholly unsuitable. This is because the trend towards bandwidth consuming applications and large file transfers is likely to continue and indeed speed-up. Existing technologies and existing networks, no matter how well designed and implemented, could soon find they can no longer meet the requirements users are placing upon the network. |

The Rush for Quality in Multi-Services, Speed and Availability
One final challenge existing networks are facing is that the quality of the network is becoming increasingly important. Increasingly users are requiring high Quality of Service for various applications such as Voice over IP, an application which is not only bandwidth heavy, but which also requires fast delivery of packets without droppage in order to be useful.
