Market Research Reports on Ethernet Adapter & Smart NIC

Increasing bandwidth requirements, data center consolidation, and virtualization are driving demand for 10, 25, 40, 50, 100, 200, and 400 Gbps Ethernet controllers and adapters.

To take advantage of the opportunities in this market, component manufacturers, equipment vendors, service providers, and financial institutions need to answer critical business questions including:

• How will AI infrastructure build-outs impact the outlook for the Ethernet Controller and Adapter market in both the front-end and the back-end network market?
• How quickly are data centers migrating server connections to 100 Gbps and beyond?
• How is server migration to high speeds different between enterprise data centers and Cloud data centers?
• How does server migration to high speeds differ between stand-alone (rack and tower), blade, and high-density servers?
• What is the adoption rate of the various fiber and copper technologies, such as 10G Base-T?
• Which system and component vendors are gaining market share?
• What and where is the current adoption of Smart NICs, and which vendors will be participating in this market?

To answer these and other important questions, Dell’Oro Group delivers both quarterly reports and 5-year forecasts on the Ethernet Controller & Adapter market.
