Today’s optical module providers are under tremendous pressure to enable hyperscale data center customers with faster connectivity solutions at volume scale. 100 Gigabit Ethernet will continue to be a cornerstone as the industry drives to lower the cost and increase the density of these connections. The seemingly unending lifespan for 100 Gbps links is only […]
Transatlantic Optical Transmission With 16QAM
Subsea transmission capacity is growing at a dramatic rate – with analyst firm Telegeography forecasting a compound growth rate of 46% between 2017 and 2024. Much of this demand is driven by Internet content providers (ICPs). On Transatlantic routes, for example, ICP demand exceeded Internet bandwidth for the first time in 2014, and in 2017, […]
Data Center Switching Enters the 400G Era
The first 400G data center switches have been announced as the Broadcom 12.8Tbit/s and 8Tbit/s Tomahawk 3 switch chips start mass production. Tomahawk 3 switch chips are used in the Arista 7060X4 Series and in new systems from Celestica, Delta Networks, Edgecore Networks and Quanta. Innovium is planning production shipments of TERALYNX switch chips before […]
Multi-Terabit Switch Chips & Software
Cloud-based services and the data centers required to deliver those services are driving strong demand for high-performance switch chips that can handle up to 12.8 Tbit/s in a single device. Following significant investment over the past five years, there are now more companies than ever before with competitive Ethernet switch chips. The market is rapidly […]
Enabling the Virtualized Edge with Smart NIC Data Acceleration
The network edge provides a dramatic opportunity for NFV deployment, as communications service providers rapidly convert their existing edge infrastructure to mini virtualized data centers, and as cloud providers extend their reach closer to end users. This presentation will describe this burgeoning market, explain the fundamental challenges, and review the various open source and standardization […]
ECOC 2018 Optical Workshop Delivers Compelling Vision
Speakers at “The Evolution for Next-Generation Optical Networks” workshop session at ECOC 2018 in Rome delivered a compelling vision of next-generation optical networks and how they will support cloud and 5G services. The presentations from experts at operators, equipment suppliers and academic institutions based in the US, China and Europe were very well received by the audience […]
Look Into the Future of Optical Networks at ECOC 2018
Key developments and research for future optical networks will be discussed during a workshop at ECOC 2018 in Rome, Italy, presented by experts from operators, equipment suppliers and academic institutions based in the US, China and Europe. The future bandwidth available through 5G mobile and fixed line networks depends heavily on the development and deployment of advanced […]
The Programmable Switch Era Is Here… At Last!
Twenty years after the first network processors were launched, we are now moving toward the fully programmable data plane, with network operator virtualization efforts driving that trend. Most physical networking systems are being replaced by virtual network functions (VNFs) running on servers at the core and edge of the network. These servers have general-purpose processors […]
Multicore Processor & Switch Survey 2018
Integrated multicore processors and switch chips are at the center of networking systems and general-purpose processors, designed for servers, are also widely used for packet processing. Virtual network functions (VNFs) running on server processors are replacing physical systems at both the core and edge of the network. Integrated multicore processors, with standard processor cores and […]
