As network bandwidth growth continues unabated and new compute-intensive applications come online, global cloud and content providers must scale their networks to move data efficiently. Innovations in coherent optical technology have paved the way for a new 400 Gb/s optical interface—400ZR coherent pluggable QSFP-DD modules—to meet these needs for seamless connectivity for Data Center Interconnect (DCI) that is both power- and cost-efficient. Ciena’s WaveLogic 5 Nano 400ZR delivers industry-leading low power and maximum reach in metro DCI applications.
