Worldwide Ethernet Datacenter Switch Market Shares, 2022: Cloud Demand Drives Refreshes and Heady Growth

This IDC study features data on revenue attributable to worldwide Ethernet datacenter switches by speed (bandwidth) for the quarters and calendar year of 2020 as well as for the ensuing calendar quarters and years of 2021 and 2022. It also includes worldwide Ethernet datacenter switch revenue and market shares for 4Q21, 3Q22, and 4Q22, as well Ethernet datacenter switch vendor revenue and market shares for the calendar years 2020, 2021, and 2022."In the datacenter, Ethernet switches constitute essential network infrastructure, providing scalable bandwidth and reliable connectivity for the servers that host the proliferating applications that are the lifeblood of digital business worldwide. Modern applications in cloud environments depend on intelligently automated and robust datacenter networks, with increasingly powerful and sophisticated Ethernet switches deployed at top-of-rack (ToR), leaf, and spine network layers. These cloud networks, with their insatiable appetites for ever-greater bandwidths and port densities, are the demand engines driving near-term and long-term growth for suppliers of Ethernet datacenter switches." — Brad Casemore, research VP, Datacenter and Multicloud Networks, IDC
