Today’s 400G data centers are not fast enough for many emerging applications. The networking industry is looking toward 1.6T network speeds.

For the last 30 years, modern society has depended on data center networks. Networking speeds must continue to increase to keep up with the demand caused by emerging technologies such as autonomous vehicles (AVs) and artificial intelligence (AI). Further innovation in high-speed data will enable 800 gigabits per second (800G) and 1.6 terabits per second (1.6T) network speeds.

    Just curious if there’s anyone here that works in this space and can speak to this. How goes the pursuit of 1T+ speeds?

      For AI/ML clusters this seems to be the case. Juniper has a new switch in the works that will have a monster amount of 800G ports specifically for AI/ML. Insane to me that “400G isn’t fast enough” lol.
