Increasing bandwidth requirements, data center consolidation, and virtualization, are driving demand for 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps Ethernet controllers and adapters. Further fueling competition and innovation in the 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps Ethernet Adapters market is the potential of a unified fabric that is bringing together vendors from the High Performance Computing, Storage Area Networking, and Local Area Networking arenas.
To take advantage of the opportunities in this market, component manufacturers, equipment vendors, service providers, and financial institutions need to answer critical business questions including:
- How rapidly is 10 Gbps being set down on the server motherboard?
- How is Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) progressing?
- Which system and component vendors are gaining market share?
- How quickly are data centers migrating server connections to 10 Gbps Ethernet and 40 Gbps Ethernet?
- What is the adoption of the various fiber and copper technologies such as 10 Gbps Base-T?
To answer these and other important questions, Dell’Oro Group delivers both
quarterly reports and
5-year forecasts
on the Controller & Adapter market.
