OIDA 100GbE per Lambda for Data Center Workshop
Managed by Optica
12 - 13 Jun 2014
OIDA and Ethernet Alliance are partnering to host a workshop on 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) per lambda interconnects targeting data center networks.
This workshop will bring to together experts and key players in the Ethernet and optics industries to discuss and explore this area. This event will be opened up to the general industry. Together, these two groups of participants will provide a broad set of backgrounds that should enable lively discussion, and provide the industry with the start of a plan to the next evolution of 100GbE.
Learn How to Commercialize Single-channel 100GbE Optical Communications
OIDA and the Ethernet Alliance are partnering to host a workshop on 100GbE single-channel interconnects for data center networks. The event will be collocated with the CLEO in San Jose, in June 2014. The workshop aims to address the challenge of commercializing single-channel 100GbE optical communications. The workshop will not address whether 100GbE will or will not happen, especially with regard to other technical approaches, such as parallel channels. The workshop will not address standards-making issues.
What You Will Learn/Workshop Objectives
- What are the drivers for 100GbE single wavelength technology?
- How will 100GbE single lambda look?
- What needs to be addressed to get there?
- What tradeoffs need to be considered?
- Optical network designers and engineers
- Optical and electronic component engineers
- Investors, CEOs, and marketing directors tracking the direction of emerging technology
- Industry analysts, journalists and consultants who are looking to understand the latest technology advances in optical networking
