Data centre activities boost global Ethernet test equipment market

摘要

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan has revealed that an increase in data centre activities, rapid growth of the 40/100 GbE market, mobile backhaul applications and infrastructure development by end users to accommodate gigabit Ethernet, are driving the global Ethernet test equipment market. The new analysis - 'High Growth Testing Opportunity: Global Ethernet Test Equipment Market', has found that the market earned revenues of $822.5m in 2011 and estimates this to reach $1225.7 min 2016 - the 1Gb, 10Gb and 40/100Gb test equipment segments are expected to grow at single, double and triple digit rates respectively. Modern data centre technologies including virtualisation, converged data centre networks and cloud computing are changing the designs of traditional data centres. These newer designs require higher bandwidth - 40/100Gb equipment is better suited to the core and aggregation layers.
