Fibre Channel Switch Market Continues to Grow While HBAs Remain Flat, According to Dell'Oro Group

Correction in 2008?

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- According to a recently published report by Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, overall Fibre Channel switch sales rose 11 percent during the second quarter of 2007 both sequentially and over the same period one year ago. In contrast, sales of HBAs dipped slightly for the second consecutive quarter and remained about the same level as the same period one year ago.

"Switches are sold along with new storage arrays while HBAs are sold along with servers. User appetite for storage capacity continues at a robust clip, while the server market has been turned upside-down and shipments suppressed by server virtualization software (VMware)," said Tam Dell'Oro, President and Founder of Dell'Oro Group. "We think users carefully plan their storage networks and therefore the ratio between switches and HBAs will have to rationalize," added Dell'Oro.

  • Your Work How to Win at Office Politics

    How to Win at Office Politics

    Like it or not, every workplace is a political environment. But operating effectively within it doesn’t have to mean sucking up, lying, or slinging dirt. In its purest form, office politics is simply about getting from here to there: securing a promotion, seeing an idea come to fruition, or gaining support to make an organizational change. Playing the game well is about defending your position, earning respect, exchanging favors, and keeping your sanity amid the chaos. To get started, you need to know what you really want from work, then orient your political moves toward those goals. It all starts with strong relationships and helping others; those people in return make up the support system that helps you realize your goals. Here’s how it’s done.
