New Capabilities and Solutions for DCI

AI is placing even greater demands on datacenter interconnect. Back-end connections between sites require an order of magnitude more capacity than traditional DCI, with strict limits on latency and errors. Suppliers are responding with new technology built for these demands – and solutions for conventional DCI are improving in the process.

Join experts from Cisco, Coherent, and Cignal AI to learn how components, hardware and network design are evolving to meet the challenges of scale-across and traditional DCI demand.

Why Attend

• Scale Up, Out, Across – Understand how AI architectures divide the network, and why massive inter-site capacity brings strict new latency and error budgets.
• 800ZR and 1600ZR Pluggables – Examine the improvements in the latest generation of coherent pluggables.
• Multi-Rail C+L Line Systems – Learn how these amplifiers change the economics of optical transport and multiply capacity at hut sites where power and space are at a premium.
• Pluggable Transponder Architectures – See how transponders built around pluggable optics add reach, demarcation, and flexibility beyond direct IPoDWDM or alongside CPO deployments.
• Beyond Hyperscale – Hear how these same technologies improve cost, power, and capacity for conventional DCI and wavelength services outside of AI applications.
