Lumentum: Illuminating the Networks of Tomorrow

Optical Circuit Switches in AI Hyperscale Data Centers – The MEMS Advantage

Optical circuit switching (OCS) is drawing intense interest when it comes to improving data center networking (DCN) in AI hyperscale environments, where efficient workload processing hinges upon massive parallelism, real-time data movement, and ultra-low latency networking. OCS was a leading topic of conversation at the recent ECOC Conference and Exhibition where we announced our new OCS R64 platform, the second member of the OCS family after the <a href="https://www.lumentum.com/en/media-room/news-releases/lumentum-optical-circuit-switch-improve-next-generation-ai-data-center">R300</a> which we introduced earlier this year at OFC in San Francisco.

Enabling the Future of AI: Innovation for Next-Generation Data Centers

As demand for artificial intelligence, ubiquitous cloud computing, and other emerging data-intensive applications continues to surge, the need for larger and more energy-efficient data centers has become increasingly critical. Meeting this demand requires a leap in infrastructure— and Lumentum is at the forefront of this leap with its various next-generation photonic technologies and products.
