Let's take a look inside today's managed networks.
Download the 2020 Network Vendor Diversity report.
We analyzed four device categories across a sample of nearly 30,000 networks.
Then, we compared the new data to what we collected in 2018 and 2019. Here’s a taste of what we found:
The network hardware market is becoming increasingly crowded
The number of new network hardware vendors represented in the data grew by 26, totalling a whopping 368 vendors.
Cisco maintains its reign as the most commonly deployed device vendor
Cisco accounts for 20.1% of devices across all networks, but Cisco-owned Meraki and Ubiquiti are slowly eating into its share.
The top spot in the access point category remains tightly contested
Only 0.9% separates Ubiquiti, the most commonly deployed access point vendor, and second place Meraki.
The switch category is the most fragmented by a wide margin
Out of the 368 vendors represented in the data, 138 of them are switches. Out of 138, nine comprise 93.4% of the category share.
The firewall category remains the least fragmented of the bunch
Only 52 vendors compete in the firewall category, compared to 86 in the router category, 100 in the access point category, and 138 in the switch category.
Virtual machines are on the rise in the router and switch categories
We discovered several new SD-WAN and virtual switch vendors, which shows the continued growth of software-defined technologies.
