The study involved four major activities in estimating the data center networking market. We performed extensive secondary research to collect information on the market, the competitive market, and the parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. After that, we used the market breakup and data triangulation procedures to estimate the market size of the various segments in the data center networking market.
Secondary Research
In the secondary research process, various sources were referred to to identify and collect information for this study. Secondary sources included annual reports, press releases, and investor presentations of companies; white papers, journals, and certified publications; and articles from recognized authors, directories, and databases. The data was also collected from other secondary sources, such as journals, government websites, blogs, and vendors' websites.
Primary Research
Primary sources were several industry experts from the core and related industries, preferred software providers, hardware manufacturers, distributors, service providers, technology developers, alliances, and organizations related to all segments of the industry's value chain. In-depth interviews were conducted with primary respondents, including key industry participants, subject-matter experts, C-level executives of key market players, and industry consultants, to obtain and verify critical qualitative and quantitative information and assess the market's prospects.
We conducted interviews to get information about market statistics, the latest trends, new use cases, revenue data, market segments, market size estimates, and forecasts. These interviews also helped us understand technology trends, market segments, industry trends, and regional insights. Demand-side stakeholders, such as Chief Information Officers (CIOs), Chief Technology Officers (CTOs), and Chief Security Officers (CSOs); the installation teams of governments/end users using data center networking solutions & services; and digital initiatives project teams, were interviewed to understand the buyer's perspective on suppliers, products, service providers, and their current use of services, which would affect the overall data center networking market.

Market Size Estimation
We used top-down and bottom-up approaches to estimate and forecast the data center networking and other dependent submarkets. We deployed a bottom-up procedure to arrive at the overall market size using the revenues and offerings of key companies in the market. With data triangulation methods and validation through primary interviews, this study determined and confirmed the exact value of the overall parent market size. We used the overall market size in the top-down procedure to estimate the size of other individual markets via percentage splits of the market segments.
We used top-down and bottom-up approaches to estimate and validate the data center networking market and other dependent subsegments.
The research methodology used to estimate the market size included the following details:

Data Triangulation
After arriving at the overall market size, the market was split into several segments and subsegments using the market size estimation processes explained above. Where applicable, data triangulation and market breakup procedures were employed to complete the overall market engineering process and determine each market segment's and subsegment's exact statistics. The data was triangulated by studying several factors and trends from the data center networking market's demand and supply sides.
Market Definition
"Data center networking is a technology that utilizes specialized infrastructure and technologies to connect computing, storage, and network resources within a data center facility.
