Italy Data Center Networking Market Trends
IT & Telecommunication Segment to Hold Major Share in the Market
- The increase in data consumption is a result of the high competition among telecommunications service providers, leading to increased discounts and offers on data and the adoption of 4G and 5G services among consumers, which increased the affordability of mobile data.
- The increase in the number of 5G devices may significantly increase data consumption because of the increased average data speeds delivered, which would further generate more data to be processed. This is expected to generate crucial demand for data center facilities to efficiently handle and analyze data sets. This, in turn, would increase the sales of data center networking systems in the country.
- The rise in artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and big data workloads is driving demand for ingenious data center network infrastructure solutions among data facilities. This allows providers to constantly innovate their network portfolio to adapt to the environment and deliver greater efficiency, scalability, and reliability.
- The growth is driven by an increase in telecom subscribers and an increasing smartphone users to generate more information and increase demand for data center network solutions in the country.
- The strong growth of mega data centers, high penetration of 100GB switch ports, increased broadband development, increasing demand for high-speed internet, and development of internet infrastructure are positively contributing to the market growth.
- The growth is being driven by increased adoption of cloud computing technologies, digitization, virtualization, and many storage system services. As the amount of data generated continues to increase, the need for storage and backup solutions increases. More storage arrays have equivalent storage arrays in the cloud that can be easily replicated and failed over if needed. Examples include Hewlett Packard Enterprise Cloud Volumes (Nimble), IBM Spectrum Virtualize, and Oracle Cloud Storage using Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance.
Ethernet Switches to Hold Significant Share in the Market
- Ethernet is a midrange technology that also provides a practical solution to meet growing data center connectivity requirements. Therefore, data center expansion has increased the demand for high-bandwidth switches.
- The segment is growing due to operational flexibility from 10 Mbit/s to 400 Gbit/s. For example, most residential high-speed Internet services currently reach up to around 60 Mbps for copper-based services, while fiber-optic services offer near-gigabit ethernet speeds. This tends to rapidly increase the demand for ethernet technology, further promoting the use of ethernet switches.
- Several companies continue to expand their product portfolios and release higher bandwidth switches. For example, Edgecore Networks launched its EPS120 series, a powerful enterprise product family, in May 2023. Ideal for large retail stores, campuses, and corporate offices, these optimized 1Gbps open switches offer robust 1G switching with high data transfer bandwidth and large packet buffers to handle traffic spikes. Performance. The constant innovation is driving the segment growth in the country.
- Increased investment in the IT industry, increased digitalization, and expansion of many companies, including telecommunications, data centers, and cloud computing, are driving the use of ethernet switches in the country.
- Ethernet switches are used in diverse applications in industrial infrastructure, including smart grids, surveillance and security, smart rail and transportation, and other utilities. These switches play a crucial role in the substation automation in smart grids. This is because integrating the switch into an ethernet-based network reduces the complexity and tension of cabling between power transmission and distribution devices within a substation.
