Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) are concepts becoming increasingly commonplace in data centers, and for good reason. Created to optimize the efficiency, security, and automation of operations, AI/ML tools are key to delivering the enhanced speeds and low latency required in today’s data-driven landscape. They can also result in crucial cost savings for the operator.
Establishing Next-Generation Data Centers
By next year, 50% of cloud data centers are expected to deploy advanced robots that leverage AI/ML, resulting in a 30% higher operating efficiency. The data analytics generated by AI/ML empower operators to drive operational decisions and better understand their infrastructure’s processes. Simultaneously, the energy efficiency of data centers can be improved with automated, real-time maintenance that cools overheating assets. Presently, 35% of the energy used in data centers relates to cooling infrastructure. AI/ML tools can make significant energy and cost savings in this regard.
To leverage these tools successfully, the latest 400G and 800G optical transceivers are crucial. That’s why AddOn Networks has launched a brand-new family of transceivers capable of enhancing the handling and processing of bandwidth-intensive data. These new solutions ensure the seamless transmission of data as it migrates from serial CPU-based architecture towards parallel flow in the GPU.
Storage and compute capacity are essential, not only for AI/ML to work successfully but also to handle the vast amount of data coming through data centers at any one time. With this new transceiver range, customers have the functionality required to increase the available capacity while speeding up data transmission.
More Choice for Operators
The new range of transceivers from AddOn Networks reflects a deep understanding of customer and market demands. It marks the first time the company has developed products specifically for AI/ML applications. Businesses in need of groundbreaking tools for their data center can trust they’ll receive transceivers capable of ensuring exceptional operational performance.
This is because AddOn Networks carries out 100% testing to guarantee its solutions will suit a customer’s data flow before deployment. This includes testing optical solutions in the customer’s environment to ensure the same performance levels expected from solutions created by dominant Network Equipment Manufacturers (NEMs). This allows customers to trust the transceivers used in their operations will deliver the necessary performance required to use AI/ML tools effectively.
Best-in-Class for Performance and Service
It also means businesses purchasing AI/ML-enabled optical transceivers will no longer experience long lead times and extended delivery windows when buying from NEMs. AddOn Networks is committed to compressing the timeline from order to delivery. Understanding that when customers order new parts for their infrastructure, it’s because they are needed as soon as possible, AddOn Networks ships out in-stock items in just a matter of days. Even out-of-stock transceivers can be made available to customers in under two weeks.
Offering such a premium level of service and support makes AddOn Networks an attractive alternative to the more established NEMs. Few big-name manufacturers provide round-the-clock support to customers, with a team of engineers and staff on hand to address any product-related concerns. The combination of leadership and expertise within the realm of optical solutions is the reason AddOn Networks stands out from the crowd, both in terms of NEMs and other third-party suppliers.
45% of operators recently polled by the Uptime Institute believe AI to be the most likely innovation to deliver improvements in data center efficiency. When it comes to choosing the right transceiver to enable AI and ML in operations, businesses should look no further than AddOn Networks. Service will not just stop at the initial sale, with customers given the support required to best utilize these game-changing AI/ML tools.
