Co-Packaged Optics: The OIF’s Work to Standardize Higher Integration Levels for Next-Generation Data Center Systems Speaker: Jeff Hutchins, Ranovus, Director, CTO Office Co-Packaged Optics are proposing smaller form-factor and lower power solutions to enable the ever increasing levels of integration required for the networking future. In this presentation an OIF expert will give an overview of the current standards emerging across a range of applications and use cases for co-packaged optics. As one of the hot button topics in the technology sector at the moment, the OIF will highlight why standards are required and some of the technical challenges currently on the table that must be solved to enable this innovative new technology for success. 14:25 – 14:55 Omida Data center optics – 400G and above rollout and the promise of co-packaged optics Speaker: Lisa Huff, CDCMP®, Senior Principal Analyst ICP data centers are quickly adopting 400Goptics inside their data centers and are looking towards the next progression of network technology to simplify and reduce cost and power consumption. This presentation will summarize the high-speed network connectivity adoption, ICP data center network evolution and its needs. Co-packaged optics (CPO) is one technology that promises to reduce cost and power consumption inside the data center, but can components companies develop the ecosystem fast enough to competewith the tried-and-true pluggable optics solutions? The advantages and risks of CPOwill be discussed.
OSFP-XD vs Co-Packaged Optics Speaker: Mark Lutkowitz, Principal
Both the new pluggable solution, which was just announced, and CPO have major technological and practical challenges. The timing of OSFP- XD, at least in establishing a foothold is expected to take place much sooner for intra-data center applications at the hyperscalers. CPO has more of a potential play more quickly with other types of apps. The presentation will address the latest information on why pluggables will continue to be viable at least until the arrival of 200T switch ASICs. The fact that Near Package Optics (NPO) is still being considered demonstrates the long process in developing a viable, cost-effective CPO.
