Paving the Way for 400GE in the Data Center
Next-generation technologies including Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and autonomous cars drive the need for more speed in data centers worldwide. Data center equipment manufacturers need to advance from 100 gigabit Ethernet (GE) to 400GE to meet the needs of these new applications. Faster data center speeds are only effective if the entire system can deliver. Faster networking requires faster memory and faster serial bus communications. Data center operators need to move to 5th generation high-speed computing interfaces, such as Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCI Express® or PCIe®) and Double Data Rate (DDR) memory, and consider new specialized interconnect technologies that offer alternatives to PCIe.
