A recent report from IDC [1] contains some interesting data about market shares for cloud IT infrastructure (servers, storage, Ethernet switches) [2]:
Vendor revenue grew by 8.1% year over year. In the next few quarters, hyperscale datacenters are expected to generate additional growth.
Private clouds are becoming more viable since OpenStack has become easier to implement and maintain.
Both private cloud and public cloud infrastructure growth was led by Ethernet switches.
According to telecoms.com, Cisco and Huawei increasing their market share could mean that these networking players have better adapted their propositions for the cloud mass market [3].
