The Ethernet Equipment industry is incorporating an increasing number of security features into the device. This is mainly because of the growing demand from organizations that need to secure their network as well as the packet data that are flowing through different network layers. Since an EAD can operate in various layers of the open systems interconnection (OSI) model, the use of security features in equipment can help end-users implement an effective set of infrastructure security parameters. Moreover, it also provides protection to the network from unauthorized traffic and advanced subscriber security.

One of the major drivers of the Global EAD market is the evolution of data center deployment. Organizations are looking to consolidate applications and services into simpler data center architecture. With a single point for servers, applications, and network services, the overall cost of maintenance of network infrastructure is reduced. Moreover, the increasing adoption of virtualization and economies of scale offered by data center capabilities is further driving the Global EAD market.

The Global Ethernet Access Device market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17 percent over the period 2011–2015. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is inclusive and efficient management. The Global Ethernet Access Device market has also been witnessing an increase in mobile backhaul. However, reliability issues could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.
