OFC 2019, 3-7 March 2019 in San Diego, California

February 7, 2019 By admin Leave a Comment

As data center traffic grows exponentially from cloud computing and applications including Artificial Intelligence (AI), data science and Internet of Things (IoT), the data center landscape is changing rapidly.

OFC 2019, 3-7 March 2019 in San Diego, California, U.S.A., encompasses the entire ecosystem for data center networking and connectivity, addressing the needs of service and content providers as well as network operators, co-location and cloud providers from around the globe.

Optical innovations and optoelectronic integration enable high-speed and low-cost solutions for data center environments. OFC 2019 will feature the latest technological advancements that support the drive for increased efficiency in achieving an optimal user experience.

“For the past several years, OFC has become an increasingly important show for the data center networking community,” said Alan Weckel, Founder and Technology Analyst at 650 Group. “Being the first major show of the year where vendors update their cloud and next-generation platform strategies, OFC helps set the stage for the rest of 2019. We expect to see many exciting vendor announcements at this year’s show.”

OFC 2019 will feature world-renowned speakers from top data center operators presenting on the latest networking architectures, leading technical experts reporting on advancements and hundreds of exhibitors demonstrating the latest innovations necessary to meet bandwidth demands. Organizers have aggregated the more than 60 technical and business sessions, workshops and short courses that offer content and training related to data center networks. A comprehensive schedule-at-a-glance is here.

“Optical technology remains a critical component of data center networks,” said Gabriella Bosco, Politecnico di Torino, Italy and OFC General Co-Chair. “Recent advances explore ways for these architectures to operate more cost-effectively, efficiently, and rapidly and the OFC program draws out emerging opportunities for operators, and content and service providers.”

Business-focused Sessions

This year’s Data Center Summit, Tuesday, 5 March, will feature a keynote from Dave Temkin, Vice President of Networks, Netflix, USA, who will discuss the evolution of content delivery. Another session will debate the adoption and main similarities and differences in open transport architectures for inter-data center, metro and long-haul optical networks, and review the most important related innovations that enable the “open” optical transport evolution.

Three theaters on the show floor will feature technical and business presentations from industry organizations, including COBO, TIP, OpenConfig, Ethernet Alliance, OIF and more.

Exhibitors

Of the 700+ exhibiting companies at OFC 2019, more than 100 companies will showcase innovations in all levels of the infrastructure that impact the network, including: transceivers, routers, switches and intra- and inter- data center equipment.

Additionally, several multivendor interoperability demonstrations will be featured on the show floor: OIF will demo Common Electrical I/O(CEI)-112G, FlexE (Flex Ethernet) and 400ZR; and Ethernet Alliance will demo 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE), 25GbE, 50GbE, 100GbE and 400GbE technologies and solutions. Other demonstrations include the Open ROADM MSA SDN and 100G Coherent Transceivers.
