Port Shipments in Millions Enterprise Edge Port Shipments 5.0 GE 2.5 GE Page 9
Campus Market is Fracturing No consensus on 2.5/5.0 Gbps specification NBASE-T vs MGBase-T fight is bad for Ethernet and bad for customers Ethernet s popularity has always been driven by its interoperability HP s planned acquisition of Aruba has far reaching consequences #2 vendor in Ethernet switching is buying the #2 vendor in WLAN. This will cause all vendors other than Cisco to revaluate their campus strategies Page 10
