New Platforms and Strong Demand Drive Growth
 
Portola Valley, California – June 9, 2017 – A newly released report by 650 Group indicates that most of the Y/Y revenue growth in the Data Center Ethernet Switch market in 1Q17 came from the Cloud with 100 Gbps platforms leading the way.

“100 Gbps demand in the cloud has been significant and in certain parts of the supply chain, demand is still outpacing supply,” said Alan Weckel, Founder and Technology Analyst at 650 Group.  “The enterprise market also saw significant adoption in 100 Gbps during 1Q17, however 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps remain the most popular port speed in Enterprise data centers.”
​
The Quarterly Data Center Ethernet Switch report related to this segment indicates that Arista, Cisco, Dell, and Juniper are the largest US branded vendors in this space while Huawei and H3C remain the largest vendors in China.

NBASE-T Technology Moves Mainstream and Beyond Ethernet Switching and WLAN APs
 
Portola Valley, California – June 9, 2017 – A newly released report by 650 Group indicates Multigig/NBASE-T port shipments are becoming an increasing part of the mix in the Ethernet Switch Market.  The report also indicates that this will be the fastest growing segment for SMB and campus switching over the next year with 5 Gbps being the more prevalent option in 2017.
​
“Since the beginning of the year we have seen market introductions of many products supporting NBASE-T as client devices begin to need more than 1 Gbps of bandwidth,” said Alan Weckel, Founder and Technology Analyst at 650 Group.  “Apple’s iMac Pro at the WWDC conference earlier this week joins and increasing list of gaming PCs, workstations, WLAN APs, cameras, and other devices to push new levels of network traffic. ”

The Quarterly Ethernet Switch report related to this segment indicates that Brocade(Ruckus), Cisco, H3C, HPE Aruba, Huawei, and Netgear all shipped products in 1Q17 with Cisco and HPE having the highest market share.

Additionally, 650 Group also published that the Enterprise WLAN Aps with Multigig ports grew significantly Y/Y, driven in part by new product introductions ramping during the quarter.

Portola Valley, California – June 1, 2017 – A newly released report by 650 Group indicates that the Ethernet Switch Market declined on strong seasonality in 1Q17 to slightly above $6 Billion.  The report also indicated that 100 Gbps revenues surpassed 40 Gbps revenues for the first time as Cloud providers and large enterprises adopt the higher speed.

“100 Gbps set a record in revenue and port shipments during 1Q17 as the market was driven by both merchant silicon and custom ASIC solutions.  100 Gbps adoption spread well beyond the large Cloud providers,” said Alan Weckel, Founder and Technology Analyst at 650 Group.  “Semiconductor designs for data center networking systems are expected to undergo a rapid pace of advancement over the next several years in order to keep up with strong demand from the Cloud, especially Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft.  Vendors exposed to the data center, especially the Cloud and Telco Cloud continue to gain share”

The Quarterly Ethernet Switch report related to this segment indicates that Arista, Cisco, HPE, and Juniper are the market leaders in the Ethernet Switch Market in 1Q17 in the United States while H3C and Huawei are the market leaders in China.

Additionally, 650 Group also published that the Enterprise WLAN market grew over 10% Y/Y, driven in part by over 50% Y/Y growth in cloud-managed services revenue.
