Fiber optic switches used in hyperconverged infrastructure
This article provides an overview of optical switch architectures for next-generation data center and high-performance computing (HPC) networks. This paper first summarizes the topologies and traffic characteristics in data centers and analyzes the reasons and importance of moving to optical switching. In this context, Fiber Shuffle solutions have emerged as a practical new approach to high-density optical cabling. Support for high bandwidth: Fiber switches are designed to handle speeds from 10 Gbps (gigabits per second) up to 400 Gbps and beyond.
