Significant Share Shifts Expected in 2025 as Ethernet Gains Momentum in AI Back-end Networks
The networking industry is experiencing a dramatic shift, driven by the rise of AI workloads and the need for new AI back-end networks to connect an ever-increasing number of accelerators in large AI clusters. While investments in AI back-end networks are reaching unprecedented levels, traditional front-end networks needed to connect general-purpose servers remain essential.
At Dell'Oro Group, we've just updated our five-year forecast reports for both the front-end as well as the back-end and we're still bullish on both.
