Ethernet Switch Market to Achieve $15.2 B in 2007, Fueled by Upgrades to Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet, According to Dell'Oro Group.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers REDWOOD CITY Redwood City, city (1990 pop. 66,072), seat of San Mateo co., W Calif., on San Francisco Bay; inc. 1868. Manufactures include commmunications, electrical, electronic, and medical equipment. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 30, 2003 According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. a report from Dell'Oro Group, steep price declines in Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet will result in strong port shipment and revenue growth within these two segments. The report predicts that combined these technologies will grow to comprise 65% of total Ethernet Switch A device that connects clients and servers to each other in an Ethernet network. See switched Ethernet. revenues in 2007, versus 29% in 2002. "Starting in late 2003, we anticipate that we will see prices within a number of Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. sub-segments low enough to entice customers to upgrade their desktop connectivity purchase decisions from Fast Ethernet An earlier name for 100Mbps Ethernet. See 100Base-T. (networking) Fast Ethernet - A version of Ethernet developed in the 1990s(?) which can carry 100 Mbps compared with standard Ethernet's 10 Mbps. It requires upgraded network cards and hubs. . In the face of tightened IT budgets, however, and without many compelling application drivers for Gigabit Ethernet as a desktop connection, we anticipate a longer migration to this technology. Consequently, our forecast for Gigabit Ethernet adoption is that it will be much more gradual compared to the transition to Fast Ethernet," said Seamus Crehan, a Senior Analyst at Dell'Oro Group. For 10-Gigabit Ethernet, the report forecasts that, as a result of this technology achieving a significant price-performance advantage over similar high-end Gigabit Ethernet ports by 2005, it will become an attractive substitute for Gigabit Ethernet in Enterprise backbones, inter-campus connections and data centers.
