How Data Center Traffic is Changing Your Network

It is no secret that increasing bandwidth demands and the rise of the data center are having profound impacts on optical networking. Taking a cue from the separation of hardware, operating systems, and applications software in IT, and more recently the separation of compute, storage, and networking in data centers, the trend toward disaggregation and openness is starting to impact the broader communications equipment market. This impact is already being felt with the shift to SDN, disaggregating the control plane from the forwarding plane, and the shift to NFV, disaggregating network hardware from software functions. In terms of WDM transport, disaggregation is coming in the form of open line systems. In this session, let’s discuss how data center traffic is changing your network.

Scaling Datacenter Bandwidth with 400G and 800G Ethernet

Based on the research by Dell’Oro, the server shipment by Cloud and SP will exceed enterprise for the first time in 2017. Worldwide cloud data centers are poised to achieve explosive growth as cloud 2.0 mega data centers replace enterprise web server farms. The size of data and the bandwidth requirement are growing at exponential pace driven by Serverless Compute, Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Both Service providers and new Cloud operators are racing to adopt the latest technology to keep up with the bandwidth demand for their business growth.

25G/50G/100G are the current most economic way to scale Cloud DC connectivity in terms of per Gbps bandwidth. With the Cloud DC network bandwidth requirement doubling every two years, SPs and Cloud Titans will need 400GE/800GE to help them scale the cloud DC to be competitive before 2019. In this session, we will discuss the Cloud DC trend, new 400GE/800GE technology and the different solutions.
