REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Feb. 26, 2018 (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 market revenue reached an all-time high record in 2017 with the highest year-over-year growth in six years, driven by both campus and data center switching. Arista, Huawei and H3C all experienced an exceptional year.
“2017 was a year of milestones in both the Data Center and Campus markets,” said Sameh Boujelbene, Senior Director at Dell’Oro Group. “In data center switching, sales of 100 Gbps surpassed sales of 40 Gbps. In Campus switching, sales of multi-gig ports more than doubled year-over-year. Additionally, Cisco introduced the long awaited Catalyst 9K family to refresh a decade-old installed-base of campus switches. Although campus switching ended the year on a somewhat disappointing note, we expect a recovery in 2018. This recovery is expected to be driven by upgrading/replacing an aging infrastructure, demand for WLAN AP aggregation, and new use cases for wired connectivity,” continued Boujelbene.
