AI, ML, and HPC Network Bandwidth is Growing over 100% Each Year as the Market is Poised to Exceed $8B in 2027
Incline Village, Nevada – March 8, 2023 – A newly released report by 650 Group, a leading Market Intelligence Research firm for communications, data center, and cloud markets, indicates that the Data Center AI Networking market is expected to grow to nearly $3B in 2023. The report also revealed significant regional differences in vendor performance with many records set.
Highlights for 4Q22 include:
- Arista and NVIDIA are the largest two vendors in this segment
- By 2027, nearly 1 in 5 Ethernet Switch ports sold into the data center will be related to AI/ML and accelerated computing
- AI/ML will be disruptive to all verticals but at different times over the next decade
- Hyperscaler CAPEX for 2023 will remain robust for AI/ML projects as traditional deployments begin to show weakness in 2023
- Customers continue to evaluate the use of co-packacking and photonics to address the vast data sets required to train AI models
“The market and vendors for AI/ML networking going forward is very different compared to the traditional Ethernet Switch market in the data center,” said Alan Weckel, Founder and Technology Analyst at 650 Group. “AI/ML puts a tremendous amount of bandwidth of performance requirements on the network, and AI/ML becomes one of the major growth drivers for Data Center Switching over the next five years. With bandwidth in AI growing, the portion of Ethernet switching attached to AI/ML and accelerated computing will move from a niche today to a significant portion of the market in 2027. Similar to how Hyperscalers like Google and Amazon disrupted traditional data center networks nearly two decades ago, AI/ML will change the shape of networking between now and the end of the decade.”
The Quarterly Data Center AI Networking report indicates that the top two vendors are Arista and NVIDIA. White box presence in AI is not as high as the overall market penetration. In addition, the report highlights the difference between Infiniband and Ethernet in vendor shares and market forecasts.
