While Ethernet semiconductor vendors will continue to reap benefits from existing fast Ethernet (FE) and gigabit Ethernet (GE) product lines through 2012, a more attractive opportunity lies in the embedded Ethernet applications segment, particularly blade switching and storage networking, according to IDC. Companies serving these non-traditional application environments today will be well-positioned as 10GE becomes mainstream.
With a worldwide CAGR of 6.3% through 2011, this segment will encourage the long-awaited adoption of 10GE technology and provide additional, more robust revenue streams.
