Inside the AI Fabric

Artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing how data centers are designed. As AI factories evolve from clusters of thousands of GPUs to infrastructures supporting hundreds of thousands of accelerators, the network fabric has become one of the defining constraints on performance, scalability, power efficiency, and cost. Optics technologies, including co-packaged optics (CPO), linear pluggable optics (LPO), silicon photonics, optical engines, advanced packaging, and next-generation Ethernet, are helping push past existing constraints to enable the future of AI data centers.
