The global cloud ecosystem is on a trajectory of rapid expansion, with projections from Global Data indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.3%.
Internet giants, Internet Content Providers (ICPs), and enterprises are increasingly adopting Data Center Interconnect (DCI) solutions to create high-quality, virtually unrestricted bandwidth connections between their data centers. This strategy allows them to manage costs effectively through self-built infrastructure. However, the rapid increase in data center construction has resulted in a significant rise in demand for interconnection solutions, highlighting the need to optimize limited optical fiber resources for reliable, large-capacity transmission.
The maintenance and service distribution of optical analog signals present unique challenges compared to conventional digital networks. IT personnel managing data center networks often lack a background in optical transmission technology. With the exponential growth of data volumes and corresponding increases in equipment, the need for rapid and accurate service activation and troubleshooting has become a critical challenge for DCI.
Developing a DCI solution requires considering not only bandwidth needs but also simplifying operations and maintenance, and integrating intelligent features.
