SDN-Enabled All-Optical Circuit Switching

February 10, 2017

Current data center network architectures cannot scale to meet the demands created by the proliferation of bandwidth-hungry mobile data applications and the associated rapid increase of internal (East-West) traffic volumes. The trend toward multi-tenant and disaggregated virtual data centers creates further challenges in provisioning Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Operators need more capacity in the same footprint together with the flexibility to allocate resources dynamically when, and to where, they are needed most. While optical interconnects are widely deployed to provide high speed transmission between processing elements in the data center, switching is still performed electronically, with fiber layer connectivity remaining mainly static.

Data Infrastructure for IoT White Paper

whitePaper | August 11, 2022

Over the years of delivering IoT infrastructure software for enterprises, we have found that enterprises mostly build single IoT applications in a scenario-first manner. However, with the gradual maturity of IoT technology, the data generated by massive devices in the IoT era provides a richer data base for enterprise digitization. As the data generation subjects shift from human behavior to device state, the IoT era will face more real-time stream data, and its volume will expand from TB level in the mobile Internet era to PB or even EB level.
