Metro connectivity:
• Data center distances < 100km
• Ethernet, Fiber Channel, some Infiniband
• Point-to-point DWDM (low latency)
Long-haul connectivity:
• Globally distributed data centers
• Predominantly Ethernet
• Reconfigurable optical layer

Main Take-Aways
• Cloud Services are major driver of
future traffic growth
• Trend to disaggregation creates need
for pure-play DWDM connectivity
• Programmable optical layer with open
NBI is key to packet-optical integration
