9. The Rise of 100GbE
Source: Dell’Oro
99
• Initial adoption of 100GbE will remain to be in
Service Provider and Internet Exchange Points
(IXP) – and significantly on the Modular
Products like BlackDiamond X8.
• In Data Centers, 100GbE adoption will depend
on relative price per port. optics and 40GbE
adoption on the server side.
• 40GbE server access will start gaining traction
after 2014. Servers will quickly drive a significant
portion of 40GbE ports.
• Customers will gravitate to 40GbE, not because
they need all the bandwidth, but because 2
10GbE ports may not be sufficient.
• Vendors like Extreme Networks may prefer to
push down the cost barriers of 100GbE instead
of 40GbE for switch interconnects for better
consolidation (such as in HPC Interconnect).
