Optical Data Center Interconnect (DCI) Briefing

Optical Data Center Interconnect (DCI) is a widely deployed architecture providing high-density, layer 1 connectivity between two physically disperse locations. While enterprises traditionally lease these circuits from service providers, deploying your own DCI network has become increasingly popular. Cost savings, flexible bandwidth growth, security and operational control are driving more operators to deploy their own DCI systems.

In this briefing we will discuss the capabilities and benefits of an optical DCI solution, along with vendor-specific capabilities and innovations.
