SUNNYVALE, CA — (Marketwired) — 04/07/15 — Infinera, provider of Intelligent Transport Networks, announced that Infonetics Research, a leading international market research and consulting firm serving the communications industry since 1990 and recently acquired by IHS Inc. (NYSE: IHS), has ranked Infinera as the “fastest growing optical company in the West” recognizing Infinera’s combined success in EMEA and North America.
Infinera is enabling network operators to deliver vast amounts of bandwidth with greater ease. Whether for the long-haul core, metro, or emerging high-capacity metro Cloud, Infinera Intelligent Transport Networks are designed to help carriers exploit the increasing demand for Cloud based services and datacenter connectivity as they advance into the Terabit Era.
According to the recent Infonetics Optical Network Hardware Market Share report, the “fastest growing” ranking accredited to Infinera is based on a 23 percent hardware revenue growth in 2014. This ranking validates Infinera’s focus on expanded markets and highlights Infinera’s lead over competitors serving the datacenter market.
“Infinera was the big success story for 2014, outperforming the broad market with greater than 20 percent growth as a result of their focus on new customer verticals,” said Andrew Schmitt, principal analyst, Carrier Transport Networking, Infonetics Research. “Looking at 2014, Infinera was the fastest growing optical company in the West, defined as EMEA and North America. Also, Infinera’s new product targeted at metro datacenter interconnect is in production now and I estimate it has at least a six-month jump on the market.”
“The Infonetics results recognize Infinera’s focus on developing purpose-built Intelligent Transport Networks for global network operators,” said Tom Fallon, Infinera CEO. “In 2014, we grew our market share by delivering a leading 100G solution that has enabled us to grow while expanding profit.”
Besides being named “Fastest Growing Optical Company in the West,” Infinera was named the number one optical transport vendor worldwide according to Infonetics’ 2014 Optical Network Hardware Vendor Scorecard. The vendor scorecard ranking was based on very high ratings from network operators for technology innovation, reliability, and service and support.
