Abstract:

The data center network is a key infrastructure for cloud computing. Emerging cloud applications such as machine learning, big data, and Internet of Things are driving the demand for highly available and highly performing data center networks, which brings cost and carbon footprint into play. Optical data center networks show promise to serve as the next-generation cloud infrastructure with their performance and power benefits. In this talk, the speaker will introduce optical data center networks, summarize the challenges for practical deployment, and propose a solution towards full adoption of the technology.
