According to Dell'Oro Group, Storage Area Network Fibre Channel Market Grows 10 Percent in First Quarter 2005 Compared to Prior Year Period; Cisco Gains Share in the Modular Switch Segment
Posted on: Thursday, 26 May 2005, 15:00 CDT
According to a recently published report by Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, the storage area network (SAN) fibre channel market grew 10 percent in the first quarter 2005 over the year ago period. During this same period, port shipments grew 38 percent, further indicating healthy demand from companies to network their storage resources. The report shows that the annual growth was equally supported by sales in both the SAN switch and host bus adapter segments of the market.
The report also indicates that market shares shifted during first quarter 2005. "In the modular switch market segment, Cisco has continued its string of sequential quarterly revenue growth as customers continue to adopt its MDS 9500," said John Carvell, Principal Analyst for SAN research at Dell'Oro Group. "During the quarter, some of the other major vendors in this segment were plagued with one-time issues, such as consumers delaying purchasing decisions in light of uncertainty regarding product plans for McDATA, the leading vendor in this segment, and CNT due to their pending merger," he added.
