This online course helps people understand their knowledge and understanding of connectivity choices and architectures for Hyperscale/Cloud Data Center infrastructure design, installation or management.The course highlights the differences that are inherent to Hyperscale data centers versus other types of data centers.
The continuous increase in bandwidth demand is rapidly pushing cloud data centers and network operators to significantly increase their data traffic capacity. The deployment of 400G Ethernet which is expected to start in the 2019/2020 timeframe will play a key role in this effort, and as with past network upgrades it requires the creation of a multi-sourced interoperable optical ecosystem. Various types of 400G Ethernet (“client-side”) optical interfaces have been or are being in the process of being standardized by the IEEE and MSAs. They include single-mode and multimode options, as well as interfaces running over parallel optics or over duplex optics (using WDM technology).

In a two-phase immersion cooled system, electronic components are submerged into a bath of dielectric heat transfer liquids, which are much better heat conductors than air, water or oil. With their various low boiling points (ie. 49°C vs. 100°C in water), the fluids boil on the surface of heat generating components and rising vapor passively takes care of heat transfer. It is this simplicity that eliminates conventional cooling hardware and results in better cooling efficiency. Compared to traditional air, water or oil cooling, this passive process results in the use of much less energy.

Compared to 4G, 5G boasts tremendously improved data rates and significantly lowers latency to cellular devices. But 5G’s benefits encompass more than just telecommunication; it’s designed as a unifying network that can help realize the true potential of Internet of Things, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2X), and far more robust virtual reality (VR) and extended reality (XR). The equipment is also highly scalable according to traffic demand, laying the foundations for devices that have yet to be conceived.
Advances in cognitive Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and fiber-optic electronics are enabling the rollout of 5G mobile wireless, which in turn will deliver new services such as augmented reality, drones, industrial IoT, self-driving vehicles and massive connectivity. 5G is also driving the demand for 400Gb/s optical connectivity in hyperscale cloud data centers.
In 2019, there are several emerging trends for colocation. This year will see more integration between data centers and telecommunication towers; edge computing will continue to rise; hyperscale computing will become more efficient; companies will move toward multi-facility data centers; and wireless networking speed is increasing.
In the high-speed data center interconnect (DCI) market here are three things we predict will happen this year. 1) Data center geographic disaggregation will be come more common. 2) Data centers will transition to a 100G ecosystem and shift away from models where all the data center facilities reside in a single, large “mega data center” campus. Most CSPs have converged on distributed, regional architectures to achieve the required scale and provide cloud services with high availability. 3) The combination of silicon photonics for highly integrated optical components and high-speed silicon complementary metal-oxide semiconductors (CMOS) for signal processing will play an even larger role in the evolution toward low-cost, low-power, switch pluggable optical modules
Capacity demands in data center networks continue to grow, with some of the larger facilities expected to deploy 400 Gigabit Ethernet connections this year (if they haven’t already). Meanwhile, open networking continues to make its mark. The articles in this editorial guide provide a detailed look at both of these trends.
