[Ethernet Alliance @EthernetAllianc]

ICYMI, there's a good piece at @lightwaveonline exploring why operators are turning to #400G coherent #optics for network modernization. Penned by @EthernetAllianc member @JuniperNetworks, it shows how #pluggables support #400G and beyond at a lower cost: https://t.co/BFgV67Pje2

[Ethernet Alliance @EthernetAllianc]

A new #CrehanResearch report shows last year ended another two-year period where #DataCenter #Ethernet switch #networking bandwidth doubled while prices dropped. In fact, bandwidth was 350x larger than 2008 levels. Details at @lightwaveonline: https://t.co/soHWtdsU7h #research

[Ethernet Alliance @EthernetAllianc]

Did you catch last week's @lightwaveonline #Friday5 with @StephenH_editor? If not, you should take a look. It includes a recap of @EthernetAllianc's latest guest #blog on #Ethernet and #cloud providers, a tribute to the late #GordonMoore, and more: https://t.co/wzwCoRIX0m

[Ethernet Alliance @EthernetAllianc]

The @EthernetAllianc's latest @lightwaveonline blog shares why #datacenter architectures needed for #200G, #400G, and beyond will have to look completely different than those built for #100G and lower. It also explores in-progress #standards work, #Ethernet's roadmap, and more.
