Strong Rebound for Data Center Ethernet Switch Market, Reports Crehan ResearchSAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The data center Ethernet switch market posted strong growth in the second quarter of 2015, according to a recent report from Crehan Research Inc. The firm reported that revenues and shipments both grew by more than 10 percent, helped by strong increases from 40 gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) and 10GBASE-T (10 gigabit-over-copper) – see accompanying figure. "We continue to see more 40GbE data center switch deployments, especially from the hyper-scale cloud market segment," said Seamus Crehan, president of Crehan Research. "At the same time, we are also seeing strong adoption of 10GBASE-T from both the enterprise and tier-2 cloud service provider segments," he added. Besides the robust performance of 40GbE and 10GBASE-T, Crehan's2Q15 data center switch report includes these notable results:
Although 40GbE data center switching is currently growing at a rapid rate, with shipments more than doubling year-over-year, Crehan's last long-range forecast report noted that the impending arrival of low-priced 100GbE-capable data center switches could significantly slow down this growth, especially in the hyper-scale cloud segment.
