Hybrid OPS/OCS data center network with Torus Topology enabled by hybrid optoelectronic router

摘要

With the continuous growth of internet, mobile and cloud computing services, the network traffic in data centers (DCs) is drastically increasing. According to recent estimates 76% of this traffic exists within the DC itself; hence the DC network should be able to handle huge amounts of data while enabling connectivity of any server-to-server. In the traditional DC network, the widely deployed high-capacity switches/routers are resulting in high power consumption and high latency.
