A slowdown in spending in China suppressed the overall growth of the data center switch market in Q2, according to research by Dell’Oro Group.
On the plus side, H3C gained more than three points of revenue share year over year in China. The report also said that Cisco was the new leader in 100GE revenue, while Arista continued to maintain its lead in 100GE shipments.
“Data center switch market revenue in China declined for the first time in more than five years, due to a slowdown in spending from both cloud service providers as well as enterprises,” said Sameh Boujelbene, senior director at Dell’Oro Group, in a statement.
