Microchip and Acacia Collaborate to Enable Optimized Terabit-Scale Data Center Interconnect Systems
2024年8月13日 - 9:00PM
The latest data center architectures and increased traffic are
driving higher bandwidth requirements between data centers. To
address this challenge, system developers must streamline the
development of a new generation of 1.2 Tbps (1.2T) transport
solutions across a wide range of client configurations. This
requires that today’s terabit-scale Ethernet PHY devices and
coherent optical modules interoperate with each other in Data
Center Interconnect (DCI) and metro transport networks. Microchip
Technology
(Nasdaq: MCHP) today announces that it
has worked with Acacia to demonstrate the fourth generation of
interoperability between Microchip’s
META-DX2
Ethernet PHY family and Acacia’s
Coherent Interconnect
Module 8 (CIM 8).
The two companies’ interoperable devices enable
low-power, bandwidth-optimized, scalable solutions for pluggable
optics in DCI and transport networks. They deliver three key
benefits as they jointly enable high-capacity, multi-rate
muxponders for optical transport platforms:
- Optimized DCI bandwidth: The META-DX2 family, through its
META-DX2+ PHY, uses its unique Lambda Splitting feature to split
400 GbE or 800 GbE clients across multiple wavelengths driven by
the CIM8 modules. This maximizes the capacity between data centers
in rate configurations such as 3x800 GbE over 2x1.2 Tbps waves or
5x400 GbE over 2x1.0 Tbps waves.
- Reduced design risk: Microchip and Acacia have jointly verified
successful SerDes interoperation at up to 112G per lane for
Ethernet and OTN clients, which reduces design validation and
system qualification requirements.
- Better support for full bandwidth, multi-rate operation: The
META-DX2+ crosspoint and gearbox functions enable 100 GbE to 800
GbE client modules to connect with full bandwidth to CIM8
modules.
“This interoperability extends a long-established
partnership with Acacia to help accelerate and optimize the
build-out of cloud computing and AI-ready optical networks while
reducing development risk for our customers,” said Maher Fahmi,
vice president for Microchip’s communications business unit. “Our
META-DX2 is the first solution of its kind to integrate 1.6T of
encryption, port aggregation and Lambda Splitting into the most
compact 112G PAM4 device in the market.”
“With Acacia’s CIM 8 coherent modules verified to
interoperate with Microchip’s META-DX2 devices, we see this as a
robust solution that reduces system time-to-market,” said Markus
Weber, senior director DSP product line management of Acacia. “The
compact size and power efficiency of our CIM 8 coherent modules
were designed to help network operators deploy and scale capacity
of high-bandwidth DWDM connectivity between data centers and
throughout transport networks.”
