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 introduction of higher bandwidth, high performance, scalability, and virtualization in data centers contributes to the growth of the data center networking market.
- 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 rapidly increases 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.
- The use of ethernet switches is expected to increase due to the increased use of power over ethernet (PoE) in various applications, increased internet connectivity, development of cloud networks, and integration of home and business networks.
