Worldwide Datacenter Ethernet Switch Market Shares, 2021: Look to the Clouds for Growth

This IDC study features data on revenue attributable to worldwide datacenter Ethernet switching by speed (bandwidth) for the calendar year 2019 as well as for the ensuing calendar quarters and years of 2020 and 2021. It also includes worldwide datacenter Ethernet switch vendor revenue and market shares for 4Q20, 3Q21, and 4Q21, as well as datacenter Ethernet switch vendor revenue and market shares for the calendar years 2019, 2020, and 2021."Datacenter Ethernet switching is a foundational element of modern datacenter infrastructure, providing essential connectivity for servers that host applications and services at the heart of digital transformation. As applications are modernized and migrated to cloud environments, datacenter Ethernet switch vendors should recognize that clouds, dedicated and shared, have become the drivers of market growth. These cloud customers also have a voracious appetite for ever greater bandwidth, extensively automate their networks, and tend to refresh their environments at a faster cadence than organizations with more traditional application environments. Despite persistent supply chain challenges, IDC expects cloud buyers to continue to drive market growth." — Brad Casemore, research VP, Datacenter and Multicloud Networking at IDC
