Today’s software-defined data centers use virtualization and centralized storage to boost performance. Data centers need to further disaggregate their server components — CPUs, GPUs, memory. CALIENT’s vCluster solution uses optical circuit switches to allow the data center operator to configure compute nodes dynamically using just the resources each needs to avoid stranding resources.

Deploying CALIENT’s Optical Circuit Switches at the edges of MAN/WAN networks between vendor and domain boundaries allows Service Providers and Data Centers to virtualize all of the resources in their optical transport networks. This means that the substantial operational and economic benefits of multilayer optimization can be realized today, independent of network and vendor domain boundaries including legacy networks.

CALIENT’s LightConnect™ Fabric is a new approach to improving server and storage utilization rates in data centers. It achieves this by allowing Pod resources to be flexibly shared and reassigned at the optical layer in response to the needs of workloads. Want to learn more?

This video shows an animated demonstration of the benefits of intelligent software defined optical switching in multi-tenant datacenters and colocation facilities..

This video shows an animated demonstration of how CALIENT’s 3D MEMS Optical Circuit Switching technology switches light from any input port to any output port without OEO conversion. The animation shows a 12 port example (12 inputs, 12 outputs), however in reality CALIENT’s S320 switch family supports up to 320 port capacity.
