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

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.

On the Extreme Edge, a Double Triple: AT&T Domain 3.0 and Google Cloud 3.0June 22, 2017The “software-defined” focus of telecom means not only separation of the control plane and the data plane with a centralized view of the whole network or its major parts but also a distribution of intelligence—read compute—in stepping stones toward the extreme edge of the network. We hear “edge compute” embodied in such efforts as MEC, at first in “Mobile Edge Compute,” morphing into “Multi-access Edge Compute”.Subscribers Only

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.

Cisco Embraces Web-Scale Players and Plans White Box Switch AlternativesAugust 23, 2016This July, I attended Cisco C-Scape, where we were able to learn more about Cisco’s strategy and business from key company executives, as well as discuss the role of the network and the broader global market. C-Scape is a targeted analyst event taking place during the larger Cisco Live 2016 event held in Las Vegas on July 11-12. Cisco Live hosted more than 28,000 paying Cisco customers and partners, who could choose from 100s of training sessions to learn about new Cisco technologies and products and visit Cisco partner exhibits and meet other customers. The exhibition hall was much larger than many of the focused SDN/NFV conferences I usually attend.Subscribers Only

32G Fibre Channel Evolves Storage NetworkingJuly 26, 2016Since the start of 2016, there have been numerous 32G Fibre Channel (FC switch and FC host bus adapter) announcements. The introduction of Gen 6 (32G FC) helps stabilize the overall declining FC SAN market, which is still experiencing growth in some emerging markets but not enough to offset declines elsewhere. FC HBA and FC switch revenues each decreased in 1Q16 by 3% YoY, and we expect continued decline through CY20 as workloads shift to off-premises cloud service provider (CSP) data centers (DCs) and server connectivity transitions from FC to IP for direct server to top-of-rack switch connections.Subscribers Only
