Networking infrastructure now accounts for 15 percent of the data center equipment market, a market that is growing at nearly 20 percent a year, new research shows.

Synergy Research Group reported that the market for global data center equipment saw growth of 10 percent between Q2 2010 and Q2 2011, and currently is dominated by Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO), which holds a 49 percent share, followed by Brocade and Juniper.

IBM and HP (NYSE: HPQ) each have 30 percent of the computing equipment segments of the data center equipment market, the largest piece of the technology. EMC leads the data center storage equipment market, at 25 percent share.

"Vendors big and small can benefit from growing investment in cloud computing and data centers," said Synergy Research Group's Jeremy Duke. "Strong market growth in all major world regions is creating new business opportunities. For example, Cisco's dominance in the networking infrastructure segment is not preventing Juniper, F5, and RiverBed from increasing their market shares and growing their revenues substantially."
