Sales of 10 gigabit per second (Gbps) Ethernet Switches are expected to reach $ 13 billion by 2016 and will constitute nearly half of a total $ 28 billion Ethernet Switch market by then, a forecast from the research firm Dell’Oro Group states. And even as data center operators upgrade from 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Switches to 10GbE in order to handle exponentially larger volumes of network data traffic, sales of even faster 40GbE and 100GbE switches will also be picking up as well.
