You are not comparing apples to apples. Cisco's CRS-3 now has over 322 Tbps of of capacity. I agree with Dacid. You are not comparing apples to apples.

Most of the ethernet switching vendors for example are in single digit share and do fine, and still come with great products. Point was you don’t have to have a big market share to be successful.

Market share doesn't matter? How else do you pay for next generation R&D? Ask Cabletron, Bay, and Fore what market share means. I'll add Brocade/foundry to that list in a few years. Wow.

Frequently the smaller players have the better gear, and at the very least they almost always have the best value. But I understand at bigger orgs they follow the "nobody got fired for buying IBM" mentality, which is one reason why I refuse to work for such companies :) I remember Foundry themselves(ironically), or one particular local rep(who doesn't work for them anymore) tried that tactic with me 6 years ago..turned me off to them for a while as a result. oh I’m sorry but my eyes sort of gloss over when people start touting market share, to me it’s a really meaningless stat.

What is the market share of XMR with the SP customers that buy CRS and Juniper for their core? Zero? No SP would put an XMR in their core. It’s not that simple.

BigIron is a switch line, NetIron is a router line. Similar hardware architectures, significantly different roles though. I don’t agree, the XMR is a router, the Nexus is a switch.

The XMR should be compared to the Nexus 7000 which has over 15Tbps of capacity. I don't think Brocade/Foundry have anything similar to a CRS-3. Totally different boxes.
