400g is coming, who is helping?
The rapid development of 400g is mainly affected by market demand, such as 5g business, cloud data center, video and other bandwidth requirements, as well as the promotion of 400g product standardization in the market.
5g business: Nowadays, 5g has officially started commercial use in China. It is estimated that 150 million people will start to use 5g network in 2020. Therefore, the introduction of 400g will become an inevitable trend.
Scale expansion of cloud data center: it is estimated that cloud computing traffic will account for 92% of the global data center traffic in 2020. With the growth of cloud computing traffic, the previous 25g / 100g has been unable to meet the demand. Therefore, the development of 400g is inevitable.
Growth of video traffic demand: Nowadays, network audio-visual as the rigid demand of mass entertainment, makes video become the key point for the giants to seize the air outlet. In the 5g era, video traffic will grow further.
400g product standardization: the 400g product system is gradually improved, and the 400g connection scheme is also booming, such as 400g DAC and 400g optical module (including 400g qsfp-dd optical module, 400g OSFP optical module, 400g cfp8 optical module, etc.), among which, 400g qsfp-dd is expected to become the most popular 400g package with its advantages of high density and low power consumption. With the standardization, commercialization and large-scale development of 400g Ethernet, the 400g product system will be gradually improved in the near future, and more 400g products will appear in the market.
What is the impact of 400g?
Promoting the development of 25g / 100g market, reducing network operation and maintenance costs, and active optical fiber market, om5 is particularly prominent.
For businesses, opportunities and challenges coexist. For users, 400g fierce competition and rapid technology development will bring many benefits.
