The Journey to 400/800G Has Begun: Which Road Will You Take?
View/Listen to RecordingOnly a decade ago, the enterprise data center industry was discussing the migration from 10 gigabits per second (Gb/s) to 40/100Gb/s for uplinks and 1Gb/s to 10Gb/s for server connections. Now IEEE standards exist for 400Gb/s over Multimode and Singlemode fiber, and the IEEE Beyond 400Gb/s Ethernet Study group is defining physical layer specifications to support 800Gb/s and potentially 1.6 Terabits per second (Tb/s).
Whilst a migration to 400/800Gb/s may seem farfetched for the enterprise any time soon, trends in Digital Transformation and bandwidth-intensive applications have hyperscale and larger cloud data centers already in the planning and early deployment stages. These trendsetters have inherently propelled technology advancement for the wider industry, making the road to 400/800Gb/s easily travelable and perhaps not as far away as the enterprise might think.
Join Siemon as they examine the implications of 400G/800G on the data center environment. This session will highlight the available technologies, strategic approaches and design impacts on your layer 1 infrastructure and how to approach planning for/and delivering this successfully in the years to come.
Join our exclusive session to explore:
