Avago Fiber Optics: Breaking Bandwidth and Performance Barriers in Supercomputing

摘要

Increasing demands on data centers and computational facilities are driving requirements for connectivity between computing resources. Pluggable solutions such as QSFP and CXP can address some of these applications, but very dense I/O requirements are best met with embedded optical solutions. Avago has addressed this market need with a novel parallel-optics module, the MicroPOD. The MicroPOD enables true system differentiation by relieving performance-restricting bandwidth bottlenecks.
