Cisco 2012년 Ethernet Switch 시장 점유율 하락

Cisco의 Ethernet Switch 시장 점유율이 작년 3분기 65.6%에서 올해 62.2%로 감소했네요. 그러나, 10G Ethernet 분야의 시장 점유율은 68.5%로 빠르게 성장하고 있다고 합니다.

The router and Ethernet switch markets, a.k.a. Cisco's (CSCO) meal ticket, respectively declined 0.2% and 4.4% in Q3, per IDC. Declining low-end switch sales more than offset a 10.7% Y/Y increase in 10-gig sales. Cisco's switch share fell 340 bps Y/Y to 62.2%, thanks to competition from H-P (9.3% share) and others.The lack of growth in the router and Ethernet switch markets, together with the leads held by F5, Riverbed, Fortinet, and others in faster-growing networking segments, is making it very tough for Cisco to return to double-digit growth.
