Redwood City, Calif. – November 20, 2006 – A recently published report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, reveals that the Ethernet Switch market revenue exceeded $4 billion in the third quarter of 2006. The report also indicates that this quarter’s remarkable performance also resulted in some shifts in prime vendor positions.

“Not only did we see great quarterly increases in the newer and faster growing segments, such as Layer 4-7 Server Load Balancing and Power-over-Ethernet, but the more mature segments, such as Fast Ethernet, also enjoyed substantial growth,” said Seamus Crehan, Senior Director of Ethernet Switch Research at Dell’Oro Group.
