Dell'Oro Group reports high-speed server network soars in the third quarter 09

Dell'Oro Group reported that high-speed server network connectivity is experiencing very strong growth in the third quarter of 2009.

Broadcom and Intel benefitted from the strong growth in 10GB Ethernet, while Emulex and QLogic benefitted with strong 8GB Fibre Channel growth.

"Blade servers were a major driver of the third quarter's strong growth," said Seamus Crehan, Vice President of Dell'Oro Group. "This class of server, which generally has been growing faster than the overall server market, has seen quicker adoption of high-speed network connectivity. This is, in part, due to 10GB Ethernet and 8GB Fibre Channel having much lower prices for blade servers than for standalone servers," added Crehan.
