SPONSORED BY: why OFC for data center?

The data center landscape is changing rapidly and it is critical to stay in front of the technology curve to support your evolving business demands. When it comes to network architecture, interconnects, cabling and switching — optical technology is here and will only continue to grow at a rapid pace well into the future.

OFC is the epicenter of the optics industry — where it is today and where it is going tomorrow in terms of both technologies and product solutions. You can do it all here — see new products, meet with vendors, establish new contacts, conduct business, attend educational sessions and take a training course.

No other data center conference brings together so many experts in the entire optical networking value chain — from optical cable suppliers to communications service providers — OFC has them all.
