"One of the fastest-growing markets in data communications today is what the Yankee Group calls Remote Area Internetworking (RAIN). Extending corporate resources to remote branch offices, traveling executives, and telecommuters has become one of the most significant network management challenges of the 1990s. In this Report, the Yankee Group examines the RAIN market from both the end-user and vendor perspectives. We not only describe and quantify the market, but also explain the significant market drivers, opportunities, and challenges for the future, as networks extend out to and beyond traditional enterprise boundaries."--P.
