The Benefits of High Speed Interconnects (HSIs)

View/Listen to Recording

Today’s data centers contain three distinct types of High Speed Interconnects; Direct Attach Copper Cables (DAC), Active Optical Cables (AOC), and transceiver/fiber cable assemblies, which connect active equipment within the racks. All contain strengths and weaknesses that significantly impact the overall goals of a new deployment or build-out of an existing data center.

As the demand for access to information continues to grow and increase in speed, so does the importance of correctly incorporating these High Speed Interconnects within your architecture designs.

In this session, we take a deep-dive look at High Speed Interconnects, exploring:

  • The advantages of DAC vs Transceiver topologies
  • How to overcome vendor lock-in and maximize interoperability
  • The importance of quality and flexibility in your designs
  • How to remain standards-compliant while using HSIs
