Differentiation in Data Center Interconnect (DCI) On Demand, Scalable, Efficient, SDN Page 4

Why is Data Center Interconnect Needed? Site limitations force DCs to be diversely located within the metro Multiple DCs few kms away power from different sub-stations Economically driven locations for data centers Reasons can be Subsidies, Power Cost, Environmental & Scale Transactional magnification process Large distances between user and data Optimization of IT infrastructure spend *:Source: Rise of High-Capacity Data Center Interconnect in Hyper-Scale Service Provider Systems by ACG Research Infinera Cloud Express Infograhic Page 5

Why is Data Center Interconnect Needed? * 100G DCI ports needed as a % of number of servers in building 125% for hyperscale DC to 06% for medium size DC Eg for hyperscale DC with 200,000 servers 2520, 100G ports 252 Tbps *:Source: Rise of High-Capacity Data Center Interconnect in Hyper-Scale Service Provider Systems by ACG Research Page 6

Need to Connect Clouds to the Transport Boxes Want Large Connections between devices Physical Ports; carry a large pipe Maximize the use of Deployed Transport Gear Transport 2017 Transport Today Address Router & Transport Asymmetry Transport is expensive, maximize entire Link Budget Decouples Router and Transport developments Seamless Mechanism to Aggregate Ports to a Single Link Channelization to address future MLG applications Facilitate Bandwidth on Demand Easily Grow, Shrink Add and Tear down links for BWoD Diagram Source: Ethernet Alliance Page 7

DCI Transport: Automation Network Discovery Key for Mega DCs DCI customers want to be able to control the entire link through SDN (high level orchestration) SDN controller should be able to know the details about all connectivity between the link Routers talk to each other with LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) Automatically detect which ports are connected & can create a map of the connection Management Entity (SDN) Packet Gear Router/Switch >100G Data Pipe FlexE FlexE FlexE >100G Data Pipe Transport Frame Transport Gear Transported in a single Wavelength Optical Network Modulations & Symbol Rates provide flexibility Transport Gear FlexE >100G Data Pipe Transport Frame FlexE >100G Data Pipe FlexE Router/Switch Packet Gear Page 8

Security is Critical Everyone wants to secure their communication Data Center are trying to make sure their data is secure Today DCs are very secure inside the building See Google s DC videos (Biometric entrances etc) But what about the data between Data Centers? Need for security is key Security requirements are changing and evolving Security function to be in the FPGA MACSec or Bulk Encryption Involve Xilinx into network security architecture discussion We can help you push this angle this is a key differentiator Page 9
