Want to know the facts about 800G deployments?

 

 


 

800g is a hot topic in the optics industry today, and it's everywhere. And as always, when a new technology emerges, there are many different opinions and speculations about its value and expected adoption rates. Especially these days, with inherent challenges in lab access and live testing. Who has the real deal? Will anyone adopt 800G in the near future? Are there any technical and operational hurdles that still need to be overcome?

As the only vendor currently (as of April 2020) shipping commercially available 800G products, we at Ciena are in the unique and fortunate position of not having to guess.


Want to know the facts about 800G deployments?

Just over nine months after WaveLogic 5 Extreme became commercially available, Ciena has shipped over 6,000 coherent modems to over 75 customers around the world, all of which are actively using the technology in their own networks. The speed with which this technology has been adopted in its early stages is astounding, more than twice as fast as the growth of competing 600G solutions, as shown in the following Cignal AI chart (Source: Transport Applications Report).


What is 800G and why does it matter?

Excerpt from Omdia: 2020 Optical Network Hardware Vendor Scorecard

 

First, let’s be clear about what we mean by 800G. We’re talking about cutting-edge, programmable coherent optical technologies that operate at high baud rates (90-100G symbols/sec) and can process and transport more capacity than was previously possible

    As companies develop the cloud, securing the cloud becomes a top priority. A cloud security strategy includes cyber security solutions, controls, policies, and services that help protect cloud assets (applications, data, infrastructure, etc.) from attacks.

  Each QSFP+ 40GbE port can also operate as four independent 10GbE ports to provide a total of 64 10GbE ports in the 7050S-64 model. The Arista 7050S offers a latency of 800 to 1200 ns in cut-through mode, and a shared 9 MB packet buffer pool that is allocated dynamically to ports that are congested. With a typical power consumption of less than 2 watts/port with twinax copper cables, and less than 3 watts/port with SFP/QSFP lasers, the 7050S 10Gb switches provide industry leading power efficiency for the data center. An optional built-in SSD supports advanced logging, data captures and other services directly on the switch. • N+1 redundant fans and hot swappable • Front-to-rear or rear-to-front cooling Cloud ready • 128K MAC ports • SUPPORT • 16K IPv4 routes • 16K IPv4 routes • 8K IPv6 routes • 8K Multicast groups • 9 MB dynamic buffer allocation Control plane: • Dual-core x86 CPU • 4 GB DRAM • 2 GB Flash • Capable user program in VM Onboard storage : • Large sel...

  Cloud computing brings significant changes in how companies approach their technology, people and processes in their work environment, and the economics of their business. A "cloud" may be required without a clear business purpose or cannot be clearly defined. Cloud adoption may be stalling without delivering results, or manual labor costs may be preventing improvements while cloud costs are rapidly increasing. With HPE Services, you can design, build, migrate, and optimize your hybrid cloud and operations capabilities, while using a multi-generational IT reality. Hpe service professionals use a system that provides context for your plan. By addressing all aspects of the hybrid cloud, it accelerates and decouples the evolution to a more efficient form of work. Audit programs can apply the process to determine eligibility and create a record. Such a program will include a change agency that will provide effective governance to shape and implement your desire in the f...
