“Based on the second quarter results, it can be said that discussions of Cisco’s market share struggles in this arena have been highly exaggerated. Cisco certainly has regained its leadership momentum during this quarter,” said Jeremy Duke, Founder & Principal Analyst, Synergy Research Group. “Other notable performers in the quarter were Huawei with strong Core Router sales in China and Alcatel-Lucent with strong Edge Sales across the APAC region.”
Cisco showed the strongest momentum in the Core Router market where they gained market share quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year as well as over a four-quarter rolling average. North America, which represents the largest portion of the Core Router market, saw the biggest share movements with Cisco gaining 4.94 market share points versus Juniper losing 6.22 market share points. Further, when calculating market share measurements over a rolling four-quarter average, Cisco gained 3.68 market share points compared to Juniper losing 4.56 market share points. However, Juniper did see market share gains in the Latin American and EMEA regions.
In the Edge Router market both Cisco and Alcatel-Lucent saw good share gains as well. Alcatel-Lucent surpassed Juniper to regain its 2nd place position.
