The talk was split between Spencer Giacalone, Ciena's Senior Director of Cloud AI Architecture, on architecture, and Helen Xenos, Senior Director of Product Marketing, on products. Giacalone drew the ...

OCP Global Summit paid series 3/6: Laser sources — external sources, integrated lasers and multi-wavelength sources: where each goes, whether to count power or wavelengths, and who sets reliability ...

Part 4/6 of this series showed how multi-plane design keeps scale-out running through failures, and 5/6 argued that at 448G the 1 to 3 m range goes to active copper first. This final piece asks about ...

Part 1/6, "NPO Wins Purchasing Power, Not Shipment Volume", argued that buyers want to be able to switch suppliers. This piece asks the next question: can the optical engine actually be swapped out?

There were many NPO sessions at this year's OCP, and Eshaghi opened by admitting the audience had probably heard the term a hundred times already. His topic was not "why NPO" but this: the closer ...

LightXcelerate was founded only in early 2025. Its talk ran in the Future Technologies Symposium during the OCP Global Summit (October 14), presented by CTO Weipeng Zhang. The opening matched every ...

Molex gave a separate 224G AEC talk at the same OCP summit, covering 1 to 6 m active electrical cables (AEC) from inside the rack to the neighboring rack; this session moves the camera inside the box.

This short talk at the OCP Future Technologies Symposium ran about 12 minutes, and Aggarwal opened by naming the worry shared by the speakers before her: optics is harder than copper, and the hard ...

TE Connectivity gave more than one talk at this OCP; a separate OIF-related session covered the 448G electrical interface itself. We explained why 448G is the dividing line in ECOC 2026: Three Hours ...

Both presenters come from outside the 3D MEMS camp. Burch is OCS Engineering Lead at Lumotive, and Sarathy is Vice President, Products at iPronics. According to public information (not from this talk) ...

The talk was given by two CTOs: Dan Daly, CTO and co-founder of Delos Data, covered the architecture and data-hall layout; Promode Nedungadi, CTO of Eridu, covered how the switch would be built. The ...

This Meta Expo Hall session ran just 17 minutes, but it addressed the deepest layer of the AI network: RoCEv2 cannot keep up with today's cluster sizes. The slides set the scene bluntly: AI clusters ...
