Data Center Interconnect

DCI Solutions for Hyperscale Data Center Connectivity

Microsemi’s optical transport networking (OTN) processor portfolio addresses the demands of high-capacity, secure, SDN-ready optical transport equipment optimized for data center interconnect (DCI) applications.Our low power, highly integrated OTN processor solutions readily support the high-bandwidth, nx100G WDM transport required to connect today’s hyperscale data centers.

In addition, our 10G-400G Ethernet PHYs support line-rate MACsec for security and Flexible Ethernet (FlexE) for optimizing capacity for Data Center Interconnect applications.

Why choose Microsemi for data center interconnect? Benefits of our industry-leading data center interconnect portfolio include:

• Enabling “Pay As You Grow,” high-density, multi-rate, multi-protocol system architectures with our flexible client/line interface support, coupled with pluggable, data center-centric optical modules such as QSFP-DD, QSFP28 and CFP2 ACO;
• Support for data center service types such as 10GE-400GE, 32G-FC and Infiniband;
• Flexible Ethernet (FlexE) support;
• MACsec support up to 400GE;
• OTN encryption support via our FIPS-197 certified integrated AES-256, low latency, multi-rate, service agnostic OTN encryption engine
