BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar 6, 2014--Market research firm Infonetics Research released vendor market share and analysis from its 4 th quarter (4Q13) and year-end report.
ANALYST QUOTE
“2013 was a bumpy year for the Ethernet switch market, but in the end, revenue set another record and passed the $20 billion mark. While 10G was once again the key growth driver, we’re finally seeing this segment mature after a decade, and 40G is now taking over as the new high-growth segment,” notes Matthias Machowinski, directing analyst for enterprise networks and video at Infonetics Research.
Machowinski adds: “40G alone will easily pass $1 billion in revenue this year as it becomes the technology of choice in the data center.”
ETHERNET SWITCH MARKET HIGHLIGHTS
Worldwide Ethernet switch revenue continued to grow in 4Q13, up 3% from 3Q13, to $5.4 billion; more important, the market remained positive (+3%) on a year-over-year basis In general, buyers are shifting their purchases toward switches with advanced capabilities such as management features, power-over-Ethernet, and higher speeds, to deal with the increasing demands that applications are placing on network infrastructure 100G ports shipments once again doubled quarter-over-quarter, and Infonetics expects the 100G market to gain critical mass in 2015 North America and China were the top-performing geographies in Ethernet switch sales in 2013 Huawei’s Ethernet switch revenue soared 80% sequentially in 4Q13, propelling the vendor into the #4 spot behind Cisco, HP, and Juniper 802.11ac WEBINAR
