I do not agree that NewSQL vendors focus on giving scale-out features to transactional data. The NewSQL market is focusing on giving true ACID support combined with extreme performance, stepping away from the traditional relational structures in databases. A lot of developers appreciate the ease of accessing data using SQL and I think we will see more and more databases supporting standard SQL. As you said - NewSQL databases often maintain the...

In many cases, the end of the year gives you time to step back and take stock of the last 12 months. This is when many of us take a hard look at what worked and what did not, complete performance reviews, and formulate plans for the coming year. For me, it is all of those things plus a time when I u...

Infonetics Research: Tepid WDM Growth, Slumping SONET/SDH Bog Down Optical Market in 3Q12

Market research firm Infonetics Research today released preliminary analysis from its 3rd quarter 2012 (3Q12) Optical Network Hardware vendor market share report. (Full report with forecasts and detailed analysis will be published November 27.)

ANALYST NOTE

“Investment in new WDM gear is growing, but it isn’t growing fast enough to offset the accelerated declines in SONET/SDH,” notes Andrew Schmitt, principal analyst for optical at Infonetics Research. “SONET/SDH spending hit another all-time low in the third quarter, as architectural shifts in wireless backhaul quicken its transition into obsolescence. Carriers aren’t allocating scarce capital to out-of-date equipment.”

Schmitt continues: “On a brighter note, there’s an investment cycle set to begin next year in the core network that’s based on 100G coherent and supported by the massive ramp in 100G prototyping and trialing activities that are already underway worldwide.”

3Q12 OPTICAL MARKET HIGHLIGHTS

  • In 3Q12, the global optical network hardware market, including WDM and SONET/SDH, fell 2% sequentially—the 3rd straight quarter of declines following 5 consecutive quarters of minor increases
    • WDM optical revenue grew 6.9% in 3Q12 from 2Q12, bolstered by a strong performance from Huawei
    • SONET/SDH optical spending continued its sharp fall, down 19% sequentially and 33% year-over-year
  • NEC, Fujitsu, and Infinera had a strong 3Q12, with revenue up by double digits thanks to robust ROADM equipment spending
  • Alcatel-Lucent posted its lowest-ever optical revenue results in 3Q12, with the majority of the decline coming from its WDM business
  • Performance in North America and EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, Africa) was relatively weak, although North America is expected to resume moderate growth in 4Q12 as AT&T and Verizon ramp spending
