- SDN化が思うように進まずルーターとCES (キャリア・イーサネット・スイッチ) への支出が伸び悩む中、IHSは、世界のサービスプロバイダー向けのルーターおよびスイッチ市場の伸びが2014年から2019年にかけて年複利成長率 (CAGR) で2.0%となると見込んでいる。
- 2015年のキャリア・スイッチングおよびルーティング関連の売り上げは、世界のすべての地域で昨年より増大したが、アジア太平洋地域だけは例外で16%の減少となった。
- ルーターのみの市場シェアをみると、2015年も例年通りCiscoとHuaweiが1位と2位の座を守ったが、Juniperが3位に浮上し、Alcatel-Lucentが僅差で4位につけている。
Carrier Routing and Switching Market Up 19 Percent in 2Q15 Campbell, CALIFORNIA (August 31, 2015)-Following the typically slow first quarter, global service provider router and switch revenue spiked 19 percent in the second quarter of 2015 (2Q15), to $3.9 billion, according to the IHS Infonetics Service Provider Routers and Switches report from IHS. "While the SDN (software-defined networking) hesitation that we've been talking about the past many quarters is still in play in the carrier routing and switching space, core router upgrades and replacements prompted by the move to 100GE contributed to a nice uptick in the second quarter," said Michael Howard, senior research director for carrier networks at IHS.
