“With Romley-based servers…switching connectivity will have to be upgraded to 10GbE ...expect the Ethernet switch market to see a

significant boost, doubling its (year-over-year) growth rates in 2013/14.”

Oppenheimer and Co.

“Also expects…adoption and growth of 40G/100G to serve as aggregation ports for 10G and inter-switch links between data centers and cloud providers

Dell’Oro

Application Requirements Driving Fabric Scale

• Data deluge brought on by new paradigms, VDI, Video, Cloud, Hadoop, etc.• LAN/SAN Converged Networking • Changing traffic patterns in data center • Increasing server virtualization, more VMs per server • Accelerating adoption of 10G at access layer • Investment protection for the next 10 years
