Fibre Channel storage area networking continues to grow, but a slowdown is inevitableAugust 28, 2019A fortuitous mix of favorable market drivers and supportive industry trends helped spur the most recent wave of growth in the global market for Fibre Channel storage area network (FC SAN) equipment, according to a new IHS Markit report. Yet, demand for Fibre Channel storage is forecast to decelerate within five years as enterprises increasingly shift workloads to the cloud and to alternative storage technologies like Ethernet and InfiniBand.

Intel, Marvell, NVIDIA, and Arista acquisitions repaint the DC market landscapeJuly 23, 2019The axiom that software is eating the world may still be true, but it’s also true that hardware isn’t going out without a fight—it is able to evolve over time and remain relevant. The days of incumbent hardware vendors like Cisco, Juniper, and Huawei relying solely on their R&D resources to develop their own chips in house are slowly fading. As noted in the IHS Markit Data Center Network Equipment Market Tracker – 1Q19, several drivers contribute to this trend. Clients, please log in to view the full content.Subscribers Only

Arista sets its sights on the campusMay 08, 2018A few months ago, I was asked by a client whether I thought it possible that Arista will enter the campus networking market. Everything’s a possibility, I thought, but this one seems far-fetched. Arista’s current switching products aren’t geared toward the campus (lack of 1G and PoE offerings), and more importantly, Arista doesn’t have a wireless networking portfolio...Subscribers Only

Co-Processors as a Service: GPUs, TPUs, and FPGAsJune 27, 2017Cloud service providers (CSPs) have begun to offer a variety of compute services to meet customers’ needs. Those needs can vary from general purpose computing, data mining, and website development to more complex requirements like artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), big data analysis, and real-time video processing. This has resulted in CSPs implementing different compute types, or instances, within their cloud infrastructures based on varying combinations of processors and co-processors, memory, storage, and networking equipment, providing customers with more options to choose the appropriate mix of resources they need for their applications.

Brocade—the Puzzle Has Been Solved, MostlyApril 03, 2017Last November, Broadcom announced that it would acquire Brocade for $5.9B and subsequently divest Brocade’s IP networking business (WLAN, Ethernet switches, routers, and networking software), only holding onto Brocade’s storage area networking (SAN) business. In November, we wrote that the spin-off “will put significant pressure on the IP networking business over the short-to-medium term” due to uncertainty over the new ownership. Our assessment proved true as Brocade’s IP networking revenue plunged 27% in its Q1 FY17 (vs the previous quarter) and was down 19% on a YoY basis (adjusted for the Ruckus acquisition) in market segments that experienced growth.

From Projects to Production: OCP and Programmable Switch Silicon Spark New Data Center EraFebruary 27, 2017The pace of innovation enabled by open networking ecosystems (switches, silicon, and software), which started with disaggregation of switch hardware and Operating System (OS), is set to accelerate with the availability of programmable data plane silicon. The networking industry is again borrowing from the compute world with the advent of network forwarding plane silicon architected as a general purpose CPU, where the actions taken are driven by a sequence of instructions; yet, rather than executing arithmetic and logic instructions, the programmable silicon is executing packet handling instructions.

Broadcom + (Brocade – Foundry – Ruckus) = ?November 02, 2016This morning, semiconductor company Broadcom announced that it will acquire IP and storage networking company Brocade for $5.9B. The transaction is expected to close in mid-2017, subject to regulator and stockholder approval. We’ve been hearing chatter about a potential deal since last week and have been wracking our brains over how an acquisition of a systems supplier by a component supplier could make sense, given that the go-to-market for a system vendor is completely different from that of a component vendor, and Brocade competes with many of Broadcom’s customers. With the official announcement, we get a bit more clarity: after the closing, Broadcom plans to divest Brocade’s IP networking business, which includes WLAN, Ethernet switches, routers, and networking software, and only hold onto Brocade’s storage area networking (SAN) business, which today is largely an OEM business. In its investor presentation, Broadcom states, “Brocade’s Fibre Channel SAN business is consistent with Broadcom’s business model.” Left unsaid is that the IP networking business is not.Subscribers Only

ONUG Fall 2016: The Need for IT TransformationNovember 01, 2016We spent 2 days last week at ONUG Fall 2016, the open networking user group conference held in New York. As the show’s name suggests, the agenda was driven largely by the needs of the user community, specifically large enterprises, and although vendors also attended and exhibited, their role was much smaller compared to traditional trade shows. End-user enterprises participating included FedEx, GE, Intuit, Pfizer, Citigroup, Bank of America, Gap, Merck, Fidelity Investments, BNY Mellon, Verizon, Yahoo, Visa, Wells Fargo, Credit Suisse, and JPMorgan Chase. Equipment and software vendors in attendance included SD-WAN vendors Nokia (Nuage), Cisco (iWAN), Citrix, Riverbed, CloudGenix, Silver Peak, Velocloud, Versa Networks, NTT I3, Fatpipe, and Viptela; SDN vendors HPE, Agema, Cisco (APIC), Big Switch, Huawei, and VMware; and network management, monitoring and analytics vendors NetScout, AppViewX, ThousandEyes, VeriFlow, and Glue Networks.Subscribers Only
