Optical transmission equipment manufacturers Optelian recently launched MPX-9XXX series of two transmission platform for its 100Gbps new muxponder product.

Has been in the Internet industry, we all know that Facebook is developing its own software and hardware products, and they are trying to guide the development of this area, OCP open computing platform is an example. The company recently announced that it is independent of the development of next-generation data center with top of the rack TOR 100Gbps Ethernet switches.

Infiniband and Ethernet switches and related chips, high speed module vendors Mellanox, today has announced the Monash University in Melbourne, Australia will be deployed include Spectrum SN2700 open Ethernet switches, ConnectX-4 NIC and LinkX Mellanox cables, including the CloudX platform, which will is the world's first 100Gbps end-to-end OpenStack clouds.

Optical module vendors Menara network has said its direct detection tunable DWDM 100G CFP optical module has achieved volume sales. Menara also introduced its 100G Wave Master wavelength adjusting and BER tester.

Since its inception in 2007 AOC come out, the market has been volatile. Service has always been the mainstream of high-performance computer market 4x10Gbps QSFP+ AOCs is the case. Thankfully, the data center servers using 10GbE SFP+ AOCs. Accounting for a quarter of $ 87 million in 2014 AOC market. Data centers also require higher speed Ethernet: 25G, 40G, 100G, or 400G. The connection between the needs of the core router chassis AOC. This makes the AOC market in 2020 grew to $ 193 million.

IHS expects 2015 to 2019, the global network port 10G spending will grow 70%, 100G port spending will grow 262%.

According to Infonetics latest report on 10G / 40G / 100G optical modules noted that the enterprise network and data center applications 10G / 40G / 100G optical module market in 2014 grew by 21% to reach $ 1.4 billion, the second half of 2014 with the entire data center 40Gbps module market grew by 81% a year ago. The company also forecast that demand for data center 100G modules for the start, in 2016 there will be a substantial increase.

All-optical switching is the future direction of development, but also from the current development trend, this "future" is not far away. Many in the industry view: ROADM-based networking and scheduling is not sensitive to the rate applicable to ultra-high-speed optical networking and scheduling transmission systems, but also can greatly reduce power consumption and floor room. After years of gradual improvement technology, functionality and performance, CDC-F ROADM (ie colorless and directionless without conflict and supports flexible grid capacity reconfigurable optical forked Multiplexer) device has matured, basically solved the light layer networking encountered many problems. Some foreign operators in the deployment of 100G networks have begun to do large particles using ROADM traffic scheduling, a direct transition to an all-optical network. March 2015, Verizon announced the adoption of Ciena and Cisco's packet optical transport platform Metro 100G deployment, CDC-F ROADM technology for the first time to get a commercial scale. In the same month, Alcatel-Lucent announced that Verizon will use its latest CDC-F ROADM technology to upgrade Verizon's long-haul optical transport network.

Optical communication technology in the 2015 forum held recently, Ovum analyst Daryl Inniss speech, analyze the optical communication opportunities in the data center field. He said the data center network is driving demand for high-bandwidth connections between data centers and data center for internal. Terabit-level connection between the data center needs; and internal data centers require more cost connection to 100G. However, the high cost of optical networks market slowdown in the rate of expansion is a fundamental problem.

According to the Ministry statistics, from January to June this year, the national new 1.386 million kilometers of optical cable, optical cable line total length of 18.838 million kilometers, an increase of 18.1%, 4G network to promote the rapid development of optical fiber and cable industry.
