The end of Moore’s Law will increase the use of domain-specific accelerators to meet power-performance requirements in cloud infrastructure, network infrastructure and IoT/wireless edge applications. However, the high cost and complexity of accelerator development is a major factor restraining growth. To meet current and future growth demands, network providers need a more efficient and open […]
Serial 100G – A Forerunner to the Networks of Tomorrow
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, […]
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 […]
P4 Runtime: Putting the Control Plane in Charge of the Forwarding Plane
SDN ushered in an era of fast open innovation in networking: Those who own and operate networks now take it for granted that they can code, commission or simply download the control plane they need in their network, customizing it to best meet their needs. The ONOS SDN Controller is an example of an open source control […]
Connecting the Data Center: 25G, 100G, 400G+
Server performance and data center network traffic are growing dramatically and the total I/O bandwidth per rack is approaching 5 Tbit/s. New technologies and virtualization are transforming the network architecture within data centers. The 25G, 50G, 100G, 200G and 400G solutions that are being developed to support low cost links use new module form factors, […]
NFV Made Efficient: Living at the Edge
Virtualizing network functions between the network core and customer edge, with dynamic and distributed capability driven by zero-touch automation, is the ultimate goal of service providers seeking to deliver greater flexibility and agility in new revenue-generating services. Configuring, monitoring and maintaining this automation remotely at scale is key, and puts high requirements on both policy-based […]
Delivering OCP for SDN-Enabled Virtualized Data Centers
The telecom industry’s transformation from traditional networking infrastructure to virtualized data centers is driving increasing demand for open hardware solutions. The Open Compute Project (OCP) has provided basis for rack-scale integration of open compute, storage and networking resources in enterprise data centers. However, adapting the OCP model to the telecommunications industry must take into account […]
Trends in Optical Disaggregation
Bandwidth demands continue to grow exponentially and network operators consistently report the need to accelerate innovation cycles and reduce costs across targeted parts of their network infrastructures. One approach is to leverage open white box systems to drive further innovation and cost reductions. Over the past few years, hyperscale data center operators have applied this […]
The Multicore Challenge to Embedded Systems Programming: How to scale with Maintained Performance and Determinism
Multicore technology causes a significant disruption to the embedded software domain and introduces a great challenge to the entire software industry. Much of the existing software needs to be modified to achieve deterministic performance scalability on a multicore processor. 4G wireless network base band processing is a typical example of where scalable multicore solutions are […]
