  • In the graph at 2:49, in 2022 Cisco was 21% and Arisa 42% market share in # ports. Then in the graph at 4:37, which you say is a great chart, is really misleading. Why does this chart need to separate vertical scale of two datasets to right and left axis? In the right graph, in 2022 Cisco is 29.6% and Arista at 22.6% share in # ports. These two pages of graphs of shares are contradicting in data. 4:37 graph, despite what it’s made to look like Cisco is lower, actually Cisco has higher share. Understand that 2:49 graph is for 100GB+ and 4:37 graph is 10GB+, and yes, Cisco is losing share and Arista gaining, but looks like a biased deck.

  • I wonder what share of the Ethernet ,data center switch market Nvdia will capture with its Spectrum
    Ethernet compatible data center switches ,plus the “ ecosystem” of network interface cards , cables and DPUs ?

  • Do you have a take on A10 Networks? Do you think they are a competitor?

  • I would expect you to analyze this (or any) company way earlier before it's price explosion.

  • Back in the day, my high school hosted a two year Cisco sponsored course that attempted to blend IT trade schooling into traditional school. At the end of two years we were supposed to take Cisco's certification course, and poss obviously. Only it didn't work out that way. It was so new at the time that they couldn't get a teacher who was certified, so our teacher was taking the course with us. I never followed up on whether he did eventually take the exam but I do know that out of everyone that took the course, only one kid even attempted the certification, and I don't think he passed. Wow, long nothing story here but I just thought it was funny because every couple of months they'd put us in a room that looked like the picture on the left, and when we were done it still looked like the picture on the left, and honestly the experience colored my negative impression of CIsco to this day.
    My next experience was probably studying physics in grad school, again they put us in a strange room with a lab notebook and an unknown machine (it ended up being an artificial vacuum chamber) and we had to figure out what it was, how it worked, how to connect it to a computer. This is where the networking came in because we had to solder our own cables and program the software that would measure this vacuum chamber. All of this was unprompted and unsupervised. If not clear this was a weed out course to get rid of anyone coasting along the 'Cs get degrees' path. Whew. NIce video, sorry for another rambling comment.

  • Thanks for covering it but you’re 10 years too late.

  • Hmmm, are your vid views improving awesome 👌 #1 Cheerleader here to say nanalyze is the best. I wonder if your vid views are a leading indicator for anything 😂 I definitely see more ealry birds now, excited followers is a good sign.

  • Analyst estimates are that eps will only grow 13% this year and 14% next year. Doesn’t seem too exciting to me. Thoughts???

  • your review is kind of ass backwards even though your coverage was good…You should have imo talked about its valuation first before the deep dive into what it does. It's been on a vicious tear and is off the charts. It is very frustrating to hear about a great company I will most likely nevr own unless Russia nukes the planet and causes a market crash. haha.

    BTW, The CEO came from CSCO, too. Seems like there needs to be consolidation in the space. cheers!
