Edge Data Center Market size exceeded USD 5.5 billion in 2019 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 23% between 2020 and 2026. The rise in demand for high computational power is encouraging service providers to host data centres at edge locations for low-latency connectivity, providing several growth opportunities to the market. The optical line system is required.
The growing usage of internet services followed by rising in the number of connected devices has shifted the trend toward bandwidth-intensive applications. The increasing adoption of digital services is changing the way data centres are being deployed. As the distance from the data centre increases, it takes more time to deliver digital services to customers. Establishing data centres closer to the point of application offers complete control over data processing and storage at the edge of a network compared to establishing it in a centralized warehouse. The demand for reduced network traffic, data centre low-latency connectivity, low operating costs, and improved application performance will boost edge data centre market growth.
IP Over DWDM Architecture
The need for low latency and quality of service is driving cloud traffic ever closer to the edge of the network. In response, cloud providers are moving toward a new distributed data center architecture of multiple edge data centers rather than a single mega-data center in a geographic market. This distributed data center model requires an order-of-magnitude increase in optical connectivity among the edge data centers to ensure reliable and robust service quality for the end-users.
As a result, the industry is clamouring for low-cost and high-bandwidth,data centre low-latency connectivity between network elements. The advent of pluggable 100G Ethernet DWDM modules in the QSFP28 form factor holds the promise of superior performance, tremendous cost savings, and scalability.
