Hyperscalers are continuing to expand their network capacity to meet the growing bandwidth demands. All the information collection, analysis, and content trasfer results in increased internal data traffic. In order to support the growing internal data traffic, they need to evolve their internal network infrastructure, which is also an area of focus. The interconnects that make up the data center network infrastructure, play an important role in a hyperscaler’s network evolution.

The client planned to introduce 400G switches and pluggable optical modules that can enable hyperscalers to transform how data center networks are being architected, with an anticipated impact of comparable magnitude to when 10G and later 100G solutions will be introduced. These 400G solutions are designed to enable network operators to address increasing bandwidth demands through simplified network architecture, targeting the reduction of both CapEx and OpEx. They were looking for an engineering partner who has strong expertise in the networking domain and 7nm technology node.
