The growth of cloud computing has placed a lot of pressure on data centers in recent years. Likewise, the evolution and development of the internet of things (IoT), including 5G, has contributed to the requirements imposed on data centers. Then, these data centers will have to boost their network capacities to respond to the impulsiveness of traffic patterns.
Currently, this trend is moving the sector to bring about new solutions for DCI (data center interconnect). It also has brought about the existence of potential improvements. These trends go across the DCI spectrum, from short-haul to long-haul connections within data centers and throughout the network.
The point with most of the focus is the imminent adoption of the 400G throughput schemes. In the meantime, other data rates and technologies will keep on playing sustaining roles in the evolving system.
For instance, within a short time range, the pulse amplitude Linkopto has grown to the forefront. Pulse Amplitude Modulation is an effective alternative to the traditional architecture-based techniques used for building higher capacities.
