AI Forcing New Technology for Data Center Network Interconnectivity
“…. a new era of unpredictable traffic growth is upon us, driven by the emergence – and soon, dominance – of artificial intelligence. A recent global survey found that data center experts anticipate at least a sixfold increase in DCI bandwidth demand over the next five years, requiring new levels of scalability. As generative AI goes multi-modal ….”

Ethernet-based AI Cluster Reference Guide
When building large-scale AI GPU clusters for training or inference, the backend network should be high-performance, lossless, and predictable to ensure maximum GPU utilization. This is hard to achieve when using Ethernet for the back-end network. This guide showcases a high-level reference design for an 8,192 GPU cluster, describing how it can be achieved with […]
New Considerations for Datacenter Risk Exposure
In the rapidly evolving datacenter landscape, the rise in AI accelerators and graphics processing unit (GPU) rack deployments for high-performance computing and AI workloads is altering operational and financial frameworks. As demand for AI accelerators grows, the cost to deploy GPU racks can be 5-10 times the cost for traditional equipment racks, and GPU deployments often […]
