Despite COVID-related supply and demand disruptions, customers deployed more data center ethernet switches in the first half of 2020 than they did in the same year-ago period, according to Crehan Research.

The hyperscale cloud service provider's contribution was reflected in the especially strong growth of 100 gigabit ethernet and 25GbE - a preferred data center networking architecture within this customer segment.

Other data center switch shipments top contributors Cisco accounted for the majority of data center switch shipments and saw stable year-over-year market share.

Nvidia, through its Mellanox acquisition, saw a doubling of its data center switch shipments, on the strength of its Spectrum-based 100GbE switches.

"Back in January 2017, we forecast that combined shipments of 100GbE and 25GbE would comprise over half of all data center ethernet switch shipments by 2021," Crehan said.
