Cisco Q2 Enterprise Switching Share: 59 percent

Although San Jose, Calif.-based Cisco captured 59 percent of the enterprise switching market in the quarter, the company has lost 1 percent when comparing the last four quarters in total with the previous four quarters, according to Synergy.

Synergy's Duke said Cisco continues to feel the heat from the strong growth of Arista Networks and China-based Huawei in the enterprise switching market.

For its fourth fiscal quarter, Cisco's switching business grew 2 percent year over year to $3.79 billion, although for Cisco's third fiscal quarter, the company reported a 3 percent year-over-year drop in switching product sales to $3.45 billion. Cisco also reported a 4 percent decline in those sales in its second fiscal quarter as well.
