3rd Optical Interconnect in Data Centers Symposium organized by PhoxTroT held in ECOC Exhibition 2015
The 3rd Optical Interconnect in Data Centers Symposium is an event that gathers key players and audience in datacenter photonic interconnects. The symposium addresses developments on high-performance, low-energy and cost and small-size optical interconnects across the different hierarchy levels in data center and high-performance computing systems: on-board, board-to-board and rack-to-rack. It is the place to get updated on the latest developments, to get acquired with the moving trends and to network with most of the ecosystem.
In this 3rd edition, the following topics will be addressed:
- In which levels of the data center infrastructure are single mode interconnects required?
- How to reach the cost target of 0.1 USD/Gb/s? When?
- Are the components/systems ready for single mode interconnects?
- Are the full 3D-integration approaches still practical? Alternatives?
When: Tuesday 29th September, 8:15 - 18:30.
