REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Nov. 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to a recent report by Dell’Oro Group, the trusted source for information about the telecommunications, networks, and data center IT industries, Ethernet Switch – Layer 2+3 market revenue reached an all-time record in 3Q17, posting the highest year-over-year growth in five years, driven by both campus switching and data center switching. Arista and Cisco both experienced an exceptional quarter.
“We are starting to see signs for recovery in the Campus Switching market,” said Sameh Boujelbene, Senior Director at Dell’Oro Group. “Softness in campus switching has been weighing on the Ethernet Switch market over the past two years. It has been outweighing strength in Data Center switching until now as Cisco and HPE captured most of the growth in North American and European campus switching markets during the quarter, while Chinese market remained dominated by Huawei and H3C,” stated Boujelbene.
The 3Q17 Ethernet Switch – Layer 2+3 Quarterly Report discusses reasons behind the strong performance in campus switching. Other key-takeaways from the report include:
- Multi-gigabit switches adoption continued to accelerate, albeit driven mainly by Cisco.
- Several areas experienced a strong ramp in the quarter, including:
- Cloud-managed switches
- Cisco’s new Cat 9K switches and Intent-based networking
- Ethernet switch revenue for Arista reached an all-time high while revenue for Cisco grew for the second consecutive quarter, reaching the second highest level ever.
