Powering AI-Era Data Center Interconnection with DCI OTN
Sharetop DCI-D16HE Series
As computing resources become increasingly distributed, large volumes of data need to move between data centers for AI training, database synchronization, disaster recovery, cloud collaboration, and data migration.
This makes high-bandwidth, long-distance, reliable data center interconnection more important than ever.To meet these requirements, DCI OTN (Data Center Interconnection Optical Transport Network) is becoming an important technology for next-generation data center networks.
Ⅰ.Why DCI OTN for Data Center Interconnection?
DCI OTN combines the advantages of optical transport networks—including high capacity, long-distance transmission, reliability, and efficient network management—to provide a dedicated transport foundation for data center interconnection.
1.High-Capacity Transmission
With 100G, 200G, 400G, and higher-speed services becoming increasingly common, DCI networks require greater bandwidth and service-carrying capacity. OTN provides efficient transport capabilities to support continuously growing data traffic.
2.Long-Distance Connectivity
Data centers may be located within the same metropolitan area or across different regions. Reliable long-distance optical transmission is essential for metro interconnection, disaster recovery, and geographically distributed computing resources.
3.Flexible Scalability
Data center traffic continues to grow. A modular architecture allows network resources to be configured and expanded according to actual requirements, helping reduce the need for large-scale equipment replacement and optimize long-term TCO.
4.Intelligent Network Management
Modern DCI networks need more than high-speed transmission. They also require visibility, automation, and efficient operations. Technologies such as SDN, NetConf/YANG, Web GUI, CLI, and SNMP help simplify network management and support future network automation.
Ⅱ.Sharetop DCI-D16HE: Built for Next-Generation DCI
The Sharetop DCI-D16HE is designed for high-bandwidth and long-distance data center interconnection.
With a compact and fully modular architecture, the platform integrates high-capacity optical transport, flexible deployment, opto-electronic decoupling, SDN orchestration, multiple management interfaces, and low power consumption.
It is designed not only to move data faster and farther, but also to make DCI networks easier to deploy, expand, and manage.
1. Modular and Flexible Architecture
The DCI-D16HE adopts a fully modular architecture, allowing users to configure network resources based on actual service requirements and expand capacity as traffic grows.
The platform also supports opto-electronic decoupling, enabling flexible combinations of optical and electrical layers. This provides greater deployment flexibility while helping optimize overall network TCO.
2. High Capacity and Long-Distance Transmission
Based on OTN technology, the DCI-D16HE provides a reliable transport platform for high-bandwidth and long-distance connectivity.It can support scenarios ranging from metro data center interconnection to geographically distributed data centers and disaster recovery sites.
As AI and high-performance computing continue to expand, computing resources are increasingly distributed across multiple locations. High-capacity optical interconnection provides the transport foundation required for efficient data exchange between these computing nodes.
3. Intelligent and Open Network Management
The DCI-D16HE provides native SDN orchestration capabilities and supports standardized NetConf/YANG interfaces.Multiple O&M methods are available, including:
· Web GUI – Simplified daily management
· CLI – Detailed configuration and troubleshooting
· NetConf/YANG – Standardized configuration and automation
· SNMP – Integration with conventional network monitoring systems
These capabilities help DCI networks move from basic device connectivity toward centralized, standardized, and intelligent network operations.
Ⅲ.Typical Applications
Metro Data Center Interconnection
Connect multiple data centers within a metropolitan area for high-speed resource sharing and data collaboration.
1.Long-Distance Data Center Connectivity
Provide reliable optical transport between geographically distributed data centers and computing facilities.
2.Disaster Recovery
Build high-speed links between primary and disaster recovery data centers to support data synchronization and business continuity.
3.Cloud Data Center Interconnection
Support high-bandwidth data exchange between distributed cloud and data center resources.
4.AI and Computing Center Interconnection
Enable efficient data exchange between distributed AI training, inference, and high-performance computing resources.
The data center is becoming a critical computing node where computing, storage, and networking converge.As computing resources become increasingly distributed, the performance of data center interconnection will directly affect the efficiency of the overall computing infrastructure.
The Sharetop DCI-D16HE Seriesbrings these capabilities together through a modular architecture, high-capacity OTN transmission, opto-electronic decoupling, SDN orchestration, and flexible network management.
