Summary
 This report examines the Ethernet switch market for 3Q08. Market shares for a wide range of Ethernet switch vendors are provided, based both on port shipments and manufacturers' revenue for the quarter. In addition, port shipments and manufacturers' revenue are reported for the five quarters subsequent to 3Q08. The data is highly segmented, both by OSI Layer (L2, L3, and L4-7) and equipment configuration (Fixed vs. Modular), as well as by speed (Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet). Cross segmentation is also provided for greater granularity (for example: L2 Fixed Fast Ethernet).

Summary
 Over the past several years, IT investment in networking equipment has grown across all sizes of business. However, growth in the small/medium business (SMB) segment has outpaced the rest of the market and vendors of web smart switching solutions have benefited greatly. In 2007, Ethernet switch vendors shipped over 10 million web smart ports, accounting for approximately 10% of total port shipments to SMBs. This growth and opportunity to gain market share has attracted the attention of many vendors and strong competition is expected.
 
 This report helps to answer specific questions and provide insights, on the following:
 -Port shipments and growth by size of business.
 -Top web smart vendors by port shipments and revenues.
 -Vendor market shares by geographic region.
 -Impact of web smart products on unmanaged and managed product categories.
 -Five-year forecasts of web smart port shipments and revenues by wire-speed.
 -Size of business, vertical markets, and distribution channels targeted by vendors.
 - Comparison of energy efficient metrics for basic and advanced web smart switch products by vendor.

Summary
 Power consumption and other "green" issues are fast becoming the information technology (IT) industry's biggest challenge. Inevitably, as these concerns grow, focus will broaden to all types of IT equipment, settling on one of the thirstiest devices: the LAN switch. In-Stat believes switch vendors who address energy efficiency earliest have significant opportunities to develop competitive advantage in their respective markets, taking full advantage of the continuing growth in the switch market.
 
 This report helps to answer specific questions and provide insights into:
 -The components of "green" networking and how they affect energy efficiency
 -The significant differences in the energy efficiency of switch equipment between vendors
 -The importance of going "green," looking specifically at the explosive PoE growth and its future power requirements, as well as the development of new network technologies
 -The advantages and disadvantages of standard and proprietary hardware components
 -A comparison of power efficiency by vendor for Fixed Gigabit Ethernet switches
 -The different measures vendors are currently pursuing to improve energy efficiency
