Recently, the Ethernet technology summit held in Santa Clara, California. Conference on Microsoft Brad Booth made ​​a speech "build cloud computing centers," he shared his foreseeable future data centers with everyone: all the components including the data center optical transceiver is updated every three years. Someone dared challenge: Why not upgrade the data center as frequently as people update the iPhone it? According to Brad revealed that Microsoft bought nearly 100,000 monthly new server 2015 will require massive 100G devices. This is really based on expected or is a fool's paradise?

According to LightCounting database, Ethernet optical transceiver sales rose nearly 30% in 2013.This is the data center of 10 gige and 40 gige components caused by a surge in demand.Demand for these products is still in the early 2014.A big question is: is massive deployment of 100 gige after 1 year or more likely in 5 years?A variety of technical approaches and MSAs for 100GigE data center transmission dazzling. Nevertheless, the transceiver vendors should be able to provide practical 100GigE products in 2015, as fiber optic sfp modulee. 2015 Microsoft will buy more than thousands of such modules do?

A variety of technical approaches and MSAs for 100GigE data center transmission dazzling. Nevertheless, the transceiver vendors should be able to provide practical 100GigE products in 2015, as 10g sfp module. 2015 Microsoft will buy more than thousands of such modules do?

2013 sold more than 500,000 40GigE module, and these links will need 100GigE module. The main problem with this transition is: all 40GigE module for data centers can put four 10GigE collection into one module, with the other end of each phase 10GigE module seamlessly improves port density. Massive deployment of 100GigE (4x25G) will require 25G of data center servers, but there is no such servers.

Microsoft is an example of this problem. Microsoft plans to bulk order 25GigE. Found ignoring IEEE standards. If Microsoft's plan to achieve a, Facebook, Google will follow suit. Internet companies in the competition can be described as tragic. Technological superiority is part of their business strategy. The key question is whether Microsoft's customers can really see the benefits of 100GigE data centers, and how long it takes to achieve.

A related question is whether Google fiber project customers to experience the wonderful place of 1 GBPS broadband access, willing to pay for it?Netflix said their high-definition video on 20 Mbps cable can smooth transmission, so 1 GBPS seems to be redundant.However, AT&T and Google, in a few selected American metropolitan area, actively promote 1 GBPS transmission.Seems to be the Internet company to be afraid of losing customers competitors, try very hard to sell to the customers they don't really need.
