Arista and White Box Switch Suppliers Captured Most of the Growth During the Quarter
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – December 07, 2021 – According to a recent report by Dell’Oro Group, the trusted source for information about the telecommunications, networks, and data center IT industries, global Data Center Switch revenue was up 11 percent year-over-year in 3Q 2021, reaching an all-time high. Arista and white box switch suppliers captured most of the growth and gained more than one point of revenue share each.
“We have been predicting the strong demand in the market to persist for various reasons explained in our report, but what surprised us is the level of sales that the vendors were able to fulfill during the quarter, despite ongoing supply challenges,” said Sameh Boujelbene, Senior Research Director at Dell’Oro Group. “What was clear though is that certain vendors, for instance, Arista and certainly white box suppliers have been so far able to better navigate the supply issues and take advantage of the situation to gain share, ” added Boujelbene.
