High Speed Networks: SONET/SDH, OTN, WDM, 40/100/400G NEMs and Lab WDM/SONET/OTN transport testing

Data centers and internet content providers (ICPs) are a vibrant and rapidly-growing market for optical equipment and are currently the center of market attention. But their needs are different than those of traditional carriers, and some of these requirements are well known and others are not. This webinar outlines not only the needs of data centers and content providers, but how equipment manufacturers are building tailored products to address the unique needs of these customers.

Who Should Attend

Network operators, data center operators, financial analysts, and the media.

Key Topics for Discussion

  • How architecture shifts in the data center are creating demand for more transport
  • Where demand is coming from – it’s not just the big ICPs
  • What role open hardware and software play in data center interconnect solutions
  • How datacenter interconnect isn’t just metro, and why various approaches are needed
  • Answers to audience questions during live Q&A
