Efficient connectivity is a key enabler for hyperscale and exascale clusters with tens or even hundreds of thousands of nodes — and traditional Ethernet is anything but.
That’s not because of its peak throughput per se, but because of its architecture and the very way it transfers data. To resolve that bottleneck, a group of companies led by Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle began developing a next-generation data-center connectivity standard to deliver low latency, high bandwidth scale-out networking over…
