Monday 23 rd - Morning Datacenters: Optics in Cloud Computing Inphi Switch/router pluggable coherent modules for 400G ZR application Speaker: Radha Nagarajan, CTO, Interconnect, Inphi Time: 11:00 The next evolution in the compact switch/router pluggable modules for the between datacenter application (DCI) is the 400G ZR. In 2016, we introduced the 100G, PAM4, DWDM, QSFP-28, COLORZ® module. This enabled high bandwidth, direct connections between switch and router interfaces in datacenters up to 80km apart, without the need for specialized optical transport equipment. The ZR modules will allow the 100G DCI ports to upgrade to 400G without sacrificing port density. This single wavelength, dual polarization, 60GBaud, QAM 16 based modules are either in the OSFP or QSFP DD form factors. We will present the low power DSP architecture and module design behind this revolutionary coherent transport module.
Ciena Design Considerations for 400G and 800G board mount optics Speaker: Hugues Tournier, COBO Electrical sub-group Chair Time: 12:45 Data center traffic is driving the need for increased electrical high- speed rates. As these electrical speeds increase, it is beneficial to shorten the electrical trace length and mount the optics close to the system ASICs. When developing systems which use 400G and beyond on-board optics (OBOs), designers will take into consideration PCB laminate choices, component placement, thermal modeling, and fiber routing. This presentation addresses these design considerations for the Consortium for On-Board Optics (COBO) compliant modules as well as share modeling and measurement results to help kick-start next generation system designs using 400G and 800G on-board optics. Keysight Data Center and Optical Network Innovation: Enabling the 5G Ecosystem Speaker: Beate Hoehne, Director of Sales & Business Development, Network and Data Center Solutions Time: 13:20 5G mobile communications will give rise to opportunities for higher quality of service (QoS) and bandwidth, as well as low-latency applications and services. This trend is driving the need for a new higher performance computing and wireline network infrastructure. Research, development, and manufacturing must be completed on a tight timeline, and within a competitive cost envelope — without compromising quality. This keynote offers new insight into the state of the industry and highlights future trends for high-speed computing, 400G/800G data center networking, terabit metro/long-distance networks, and the 5G wireline fronthaul infrastructure. Molex The Co-packaged Conundrum Speaker: Adit Narasimha, Vice President and General Manager, Optoelectronics Time: 13:55 The industry is actively discussing co-packaged optics and in-package optics for switching. However, the view of different solutions and the problems they allegedly solve is quite dependent on where the viewer sits in the value chain. This presentation will explore the practical considerations and trade offs involved in implementing such solutions. We will show how the choice of business model and multi-sourcing strategy could strongly impact the technical performance and reliability of the solution. We will also propose some technical and monetary figures of merit to compare different co-packaged architectures and to assess their suitability for a specific switch ASIC generation.
Cisco Leveraging 400 GbE to enable 800G Speakers: Mark Nowell, Cisco Fellow Time: 11:35
Significant effort and resource has been spent to bring numerous new technologies to market to enable the 400 GbE ecosystem. This talk will focus on what the status of 400 GbE, what the network needs beyond 400 GbE might be and how we can ensure we can meet those needs by leveraging these recent technology advances and extending as necessary. Microsoft Moving Optics Inside Speakers: Brad Booth, Manager, Networking and Connectivity Hardware Azure Hardware Systems Group, Microsoft Time: 12:10 Hyperscale datacenters are driving the next generation of optical networking development and have an become an important part of the overall optical communications market. The key trend driving this growth is the transition of a greater number of services and applications moving to the cloud. As this trend continues and new workloads like artificial intelligence and quantum computing start to emerge in hyperscale datacenters, optics will transition from the faceplate to on-board and eventually to co-packaging. This market watch presentation looks at the change in requirements that are driving these transitions and the status of the trend.
