The Ethernet Switch market in the second quarter expanded 8% sequentially in L2-L3 switching, according to a new report from Dell'Oro Group.
The report attributes the growth to continued data center deployments including utilizing 10 Gigabit Ethernet in Top-of-Rack and Blade switches.
Despite strong sequential growth, Dell’Oro continues to expect overall market revenue to decline year-over-year in 2011.
