NEC Nexsolution Maintains Leading Position in VPN Market
For an impressive 16 consecutive years, NEC Nexsolution has proven itself as a leader in the VPN market, according to the latest report by Fuji Chimera Research Institute. The company’s managed network service, Clovernet, has secured the number one spot in terms of market share within the Internet VPN services category.
A Brief Overview of Clovernet
Launched in December 2002, Clovernet provides a cost-effective and high-speed solution for corporate inter-site communications (WAN). Its features include reliable maintenance and monitoring services, support for multiple carriers, and flexible network design, all of which have contributed to its ongoing popularity among customers. As of March 2025, Clovernet has achieved a remarkable record of over 2,000 companies utilizing approximately 83,000 connections.
The recent surge in remote work and increased video conferencing traffic has prompted companies to reassess their traditional boundary-based networks. To meet this growing demand, there is a heightened focus on utilizing open networks for optimal communication routes, particularly for SaaS and IaaS. Among the emerging solutions is SASE (Secure Access Service Edge), which allows for unified management of network and security measures through cloud integration.
In response to these developments, Clovernet has adapted its offerings to include proprietary options aimed at reducing the cost of utilizing SASE services. The introduction of offload functionality and IPv6 capabilities, derived from extensive expertise in Internet VPN, positions Clovernet to provide bespoke solutions that fit within the evolving landscape of network infrastructures.

NEC Nexsolution is dedicated to not only enhancing Clovernet's network services but also expanding its portfolio to include various cloud offerings. Rooted in the principle of 'Speed & Easy', the company aims to accompany clients in their journey toward new business horizons.
