Data Center Exchange Services facilitate interconnection between multiple data centers, allowing efficient exchange of traffic and resources among cloud, content, and enterprise networks. These services support low-latency, high-bandwidth communication and are essential to modern Internet infrastructure. NEC Laboratories America conducts research on optimizing data center interconnects using optical and software-defined networking technologies. Enhanced exchange frameworks help balance workloads and ensure redundancy across global infrastructures. This field underpins the scalability of digital ecosystems.
This tutorial presents an architecture and methods for a/1-photonics networks-as-a-service in distributed Al data center infrastructures. We discuss server-based coherent transceiver architectures, remote transponder control, rapid end-to-end lightpath provisioning, digital longitudinal monitoring, and line-system calibration, demonstrating their feasibility through field validations.
