REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 12, 2017 -- According to a recent report by Dell’Oro Group, the trusted source for information about the telecommunications, networks, and data center IT industries, 25 Gbps and 100 Gbps switch port shipments increased to more than one million in the first quarter of 2017. Arista, Cisco, and White box vendors are leading the transitions to higher speeds.
“As supply constraints on 100 Gbps optical modules started to alleviate, we are seeing demand for 100 Gbps switches ramping up at the major Cloud providers,” said Sameh Boujelbene, Senior Director at Dell’Oro Group. “However, we are still in the early stage of this migration and we expect demand to accelerate through the rest of the year driven by the Cloud as well as Telco Service Providers and Enterprise deployments,” stated Boujelbene.
Highlights from the 1Q17 Ethernet Switch – Data Center Report:
- 100 Gbps sales surged in the quarter, growing six times year-over-year.
- Arista, Cisco, and White box sales of 100 Gbps all exceeded well over $100 M revenue in the quarter.
- Shipments of 25 Gbps are ramping on the switch side – mainly driven by Cisco – as Enterprise customers are upgrading their switches ahead of the Intel Purely server refresh cycle that is expected in the second half 2017.
