Overall
10 Gbps Ethernet Controller and Adapter revenues are forecast to see a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 41percent in the next 5 years, driven in large
part by strong sales in the adapter portion of the market, according to
Dell’Oro Group.
10
Gbps controllers have been placed on motherboards of stand-alone servers as
early as the second half of 2010, but they will not drive down demand for 10
Gbps stand-alone adapters,” said Sameh Boujelbene, analyst covering Controller
& Adapter market research at Dell’Oro Group.
Furthermore,
Dell’Oro also predict that the migration towards 10 Gbps network speeds will
not eliminate 1 Gbps, as recent interviews revealed many end-users plan to
retain certain server applications on 1 Gbps connections. The report also
indicates that copper adapter port shipments are forecast to expand through
2015.
