REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- In a newly released report by DellOro Group, the trusted source for information about the telecommunications and networking industries, Fibre Channel switch revenues are expected to exceed $2.0 billion by 2008 and to continually increase through 2011.
More and more enterprises are installing fiber cabling to future-proof their network, said Tam DellOro, President and Founder of DellOro Group. Once fiber cabling has been installed, Fibre Channel becomes a no brainer choice for storage networking over alternatives such as iSCSI and Ethernet. For example, on a high-end switch, 1 Gbps Ethernet over fiber is selling for about $600 a port the same price as a 4 Gbps Fibre Channel port that provides four times the bandwidth, added DellOro.
