The last big shift in datacenter optics from 100G to 400G progressed over years, leaving time for standards bodies to formalize the technology and for vendors to implement it.

With the exploding demand for cloud services, operators of the world’s biggest datacenters need higher-speed transmission technologies now.

The ecosystem, from interconnect and chipset makers to NEMs, are racing to meet the need quickly. But with standards still incomplete and open to interpretation, delivering production-ready 800G solutions is far from simple.

This paper explores the biggest questions facing vendors bringing new 800G components to market and testing strategies to follow for validating and deploying 800G.
