    Open CPX Sets the Stage for More Flexible, Scalable Connectivity

    By George Hervey, Associate Vice President, Cloud Switch Marketing, ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ

    Co-packaged connectivity is coming. The (Co-packaging Multisource Agreement) is working to simplify adoption.

    The consortium, which includes ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ and other leaders in connectivity, is developing specifications and standards for solutions for integrating near-packaged optical (NPO) and/or co-packaged optical (CPO) technology into switches and servers in scalable, repeatable ways. Members are also working to support interoperability with co-packaged copper (CPC).

    The idea is to give data center service providers, equipment manufacturers and others a unified framework for next-generation connectivity to accelerate innovation and meet the surging demand for these technologies. Fewer than one million near- and co-packaged ports shipped in 2025, according to LightCounting; by 2030, shipments are projected to surpass 100 million ports per year.1 Standards that can ensure predictability and flexibility will be critical in enabling this expected growth.

    ¡°The initial target of the MSA will be to develop an optimized optical engine with a defined pluggable socket and electrical connector system supporting high speed and high-density connectivity between a switch or processor and co-packaged and near-package interconnects,¡± the Open CPX MSA website states. ¡°The specifications will define connector mechanicals, thermals, electrical pinout, mechanical form factors, electrical, optical, and management interface specifications to ensure interoperability between multiple vendors of Open CPX.¡±

    ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Driving Network Intelligence and Processing to the Edge

    In the previous TIPS to Living on the Edge, we looked at the trend of driving network intelligence to the edge. With the capacity enabled by the latest wireless networks, like 5G, the infrastructure will enable the development of innovative applications. These applications often employ a high-frequency activity model, for example video or sensors, where the activities are often initiated by the devices themselves generating massive amounts of data moving across the network infrastructure. Cisco¡¯s VNI Forecast Highlights predicts that global business mobile data traffic will grow six-fold from 2017 to 2022, or at an annual growth rate of 42 percent1, requiring a performance upgrade of the network.
