South Front Networks, a broadband service provider based in Mankato, Minnesota, has selected Padtec’s 800 Gbps transponders , a disaggregated, high performance optical transport platform, to provide 400 Gbps wavelengths in its footprint. The operator’s objective is to increase the transmission capacity of its DWDM networks to offer a unique connectivity experience to the users […]
SK hynix confirmed the initiation of mass production of HBM3 high bandwidth memory (HBM), which vertically interconnects multiple DRAM chips and dramatically increases data processing speed in comparison to traditional DRAM products. HBM3 DRAM is the 4th generation HBM product, succeeding HBM (1st generation), HBM2 (2nd generation) and HBM2E (3rd generation).60 NVIDIA has recently completed […]
Juniper Networks, Sumitomo Electric and Arrcus have joined the Open XR Forum, which aims to advance the deployment of software-configurable point-to-point and point-to-multipoint coherent optical networks utilizing XR optics pluggable transceiver technology. These new members bring essential expertise and world-class experience in routing, access/edge networks and software to the Open XR ecosystem. Their contributions and […]
OIF published a new Implementation Agreement (IA) for Common Electrical I/O (CEI) 5.0 specifying the next generation of 112 Gbps electrical interconnects. The IA specifies transmitter, receiver and channel requirements associated with Extra Short Reach (XSR), Medium Reach (MR) and Long Reach (LR) interfaces for multi-chip-module, chip-to-chip, and high-speed backplane applications. “This IA marks a […]
Amazon Web Services introduced a service that makes it faster and easier for customers to modernize mainframe-based workloads by moving them to the cloud. AWS Mainframe Modernization can refactor mainframe workloads to run on AWS. Alternatively, customers can keep their applications as written and replatform their workloads to AWS by reusing existing code with minimal […]
Marvell has joined the Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) Consortium as part of its ongoing development of open chiplet interconnect standards. Marvell said its contributions to the UCIe standard will leverage the company’s advanced chiplet interconnect and packaging experience to help further the consortium’s objective of developing open standards that create a more robust ecosystem […]
STACK Infrastructure announced a partnership with Hickory, a leading Australian commercial real estate developer, to develop data center capacity in three Australian markets: Melbourne, Canberra, and Perth. STACK Australia is currently constructing a 72MW campus in the high growth hyperscale corridor of Truganina in Melbourne’s western suburbs. The facility is expected to be delivered early […]
The Ethernet controller and adapter market surpassed $1 billion for the first time in 1Q 2022, according to a new report from Dell’Oro Group. Growth was attributed to the adoption of Smart NICs and high-speed ports. “The Ethernet controller and adapter market was driven by strong Smart NIC and 100 Gbps port shipments,” said Baron […]
Partner Communications has deployed its Oscilloquartz timing technology to support 5G rollout throughout Israel to deliver the level of accuracy and availability needed for next-generation mobile services and time-sensitive low-latency applications. Partner Communications’ new timing infrastructure features the OSA 5440, a fully redundant, scalable, and modular multi-technology grandmaster for core deployment. Operating with the OSA […]
Immuta, a start-up based in Boston, secured $100 million in Series E funding for its platform can automate access to data by discovering, securing, and monitoring data on any cloud service. The new investment brings Immuta’s total financing to date to $267 million. Led by NightDragon, the funding round also includes new investor Snowflake Ventures, […]
by James E. Carroll II‐VI has taped-out its Steelerton digital signal processor (DSP) for 100 Gbps coherent transmission in optical access and aggregation networks. The company says its Steelerton DSP, miniaturized and with ultralow power dissipation, typically of 2 W, was designed specifically to enable 100 Gbps digital coherent optics (DCO) in a pluggable […]
Intel introduced a new design blueprint that enables fast deployment of network security workloads. The new Intel NetSec Accelerator Reference Design allows original design manufacturers to quickly build – and bring to market – PCIe add-in cards featuring Intel QuickAssist Technology (Intel QAT) acceleration and full Intel-based server functionality, including orchestration and management. Ideal for […]
Juniper Networks has expanded its SASE offering with the addition of Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) and advanced Data Loss Prevention (DLP) capabilities to its Juniper Secure Edge solution. When combined with its SD-WAN solution driven by Mist AI, Juniper says it can now offer a full-stack SASE solution with visibility into both the edge […]
