In recent years, with the accelerated development of industries such as the Internet, cloud computing, and big data, competition in many industries has intensified significantly. IT infrastructure has become the key to coping with these new trends and enhancing the competitiveness of enterprises. Therefore, the construction of data centers in various industries The pace is also accelerating! And inside the data center, a new round of Ethernet upgrades is also underway. According to the latest survey report of the research institute, 100G Ethernet will grow strongly in the data center field in the next few years!

　　The company pointed out that with the booming development of cloud computing and big data, data centers have begun to evolve to cloud data centers and ultra-large data centers, and in this process, 100G Ethernet switches will begin to be fully popularized; The Internet companies represented (starting to deploy 40G servers) will be a huge driving force behind the rapid growth of 100G Ethernet switches.

　　The survey report predicts that by 2019, the shipments of 100G Ethernet ports will increase from the current tens of thousands to more than 10 million, and the cost price of each port will show a significant downward trend in 2016.

　　Of course, in addition to 100G Ethernet, 25G Ethernet has also attracted much attention. It broke the normal development of Ethernet at 10 times speed, and won widespread attention in the industry in a more economical way. According to industry insiders, 25G will bring a more economical choice to the data center field - with server upgrades, the 10G Ethernet speed standard can no longer meet its needs, and 100G is too expensive, so 25G and 50G Ethernet The emergence of network standards just makes up for the deficiencies of the two. Of course, more importantly, 25Gbps and 50Gbps per channel technology will be the basis for future 100Gbps (4 25Gbps) and 400Gbps (8 50Gbps) Ethernet standards, so the industry generally hopes to use 25G transmission rate to replace the existing 10Gbps rate.
