Optically interconnected high performance data centers

We present an overview of the challenges and requirements for future optically-interconnected data centers and describe our end-to-end network validation platform that features a reprogrammable hybrid (electronic/optical and packet/circuit switched) switching fabric and transparent photonic interface solution.
