650 Group Cloud and Data Center Spending Dominate Mix

A newly released report by 650 Group indicates that the Ethernet Switch Market declined on strong
seasonality in 1Q17 to slightly above $6 Billion.

Portola Valley, CA, June 08, 2017 --(PR.com)-- A newly released report by 650 Group indicates that the
Ethernet Switch Market declined on strong seasonality in 1Q17 to slightly above $6 Billion. The report
also indicated that 100 Gbps revenues surpassed 40 Gbps revenues for the first time as Cloud providers
and large enterprises adopt the higher speed.

100 Gbps set a record in revenue and port shipments during 1Q17 as the market was driven by both
merchant silicon and custom ASIC solutions. 100 Gbps adoption spread well beyond the large Cloud
providers, said Alan Weckel, Founder and Technology Analyst at 650 Group. Semiconductor designs
for data center networking systems are expected to undergo a rapid pace of advancement over the next
several years in order to keep up with strong demand from the Cloud, especially Apple, Amazon,
Facebook, Google, and Microsoft. Vendors exposed to the data center, especially the Cloud and Telco
Cloud continue to gain share.

The Quarterly Ethernet Switch report related to this segment indicates that Arista, Cisco, HPE, and
Juniper are the market leaders in the Ethernet Switch Market in 1Q17 in the United States while H3C and
Huawei are the market leaders in China.

Additionally, 650 Group also published a report authored by Chris DePuy, Founder and Technology
Analyst, that stated that the Enterprise WLAN market market grew over 10% Y/Y, driven in part by over
50% Y/Y growth in cloud-managed services revenue.
