Abstract
As the Cloud Computing model evolves over the next decade data centers will scale from tens of thousands of servers to 100’s of thousands of servers. Server performance will also scale with the adoption of high performance multicore processors that will drive the need for high speed networking to provide them the data for their applications. Currently 10G Ethernet is emerging as the interconnect that meets current needs. As servers move to 40G connections, the need for 100G Ethernet will come to the forefront. This talk will explore the data center networking evolution and how 100G Ethernet can meet its future needs. It will also review current standards efforts and emerging technologies that may address the cost and performance that is required.
