Can Cloud computing, Video on Demand
or Telepresence can be Household reality?
• 1.268 billion (2008) - Telephones
• 4,017.294 million (2008) - Cell Phone
• 1.604 billion (2008)- Internet users

- How many large datacenters which typically house over 100K ports will be built in the next 5 years?
- Applications that can practically be driven in the next 5 years- Cloud computing, Video on Demand,
Mobile TV ,HDTV?
- What kind of infrastructure would be required to support growing bandwidth and lower energy
demands ?
Fiber is the only logical solution providing banwidth and very low latency

Increased Demand for Data Centers
Traffic Demand and New Data Center Equipment
• Traffic growth with parameter of the
compound annual growth rate (CAGR)
• Newly required equipment
CAGR in 2015 in 2020
100% 97% 99,9%
70% 93% 99,5%
40% 80% 96,5%
• Minnesota Internet Traffic Studies (MINTS)
– Growth rates from publicly observed sites
– Monthly Internet traffic estimate (end 2009)
7,500-12,000 PBytes (PB = 1015 B) (World)
– Annual Internet traffic growth (end 2009)
40% - 50% (U.S. and World)

Low power Line-card Architecture
@ High data rates to support 1 TB
• Advanced functionality
• What changes need to be made
on the Line Card
– Higher bitrates
• Serial 40G and 100G(4X25G) Phys
– Chip-to-chip connection
– Chip-to-module connection
– Serial memory
– Reduced power consumption
– Better cost per bit performance

Summary - Avoid energy crisis
• Fiber to replace all copper infrastructure to support growing bandwidth
demand
• Today there is a way to reduce power by 50% or more and save $100’s
Millions
The future rule if not contained today will be
Power = MTBF(mean time between failure)
