400G ZR is an ideal fit for cloud service providers' next
generation DCI networks as it addresses the need for interoperable,
high-density and cost-effective metro capacity. With the same
density as standard grey optics, the technology offers up to 25Tbps
of bandwidth in a single fiber pair by squeezing spectrally
efficient coherent signals into standard QSFP-DD modules.
Next-generation routers with enhanced thermal management need to
accommodate different 400G ZR vendors and are key to enabling a
viable multi sourced ecosystem. With the support of Arista's 7800R3
routing platforms, Microsoft’s transmission testing confirmed
excellent optical and thermal performance over a variety of 400G ZR
vendors.
Hacene Chaouch, Distinguished Engineer at Arista Networks
commented, "We are very pleased with the demonstrated performance
of the 400G ZR transceiver modules. Being able to seamlessly
support modules from multiple 400G-ZR vendors on our standard
routing platforms constitutes a significant advancement in the DCI
space."
Jamie Gaudette, Principal Engineering Manager of Microsoft’s
Backbone Network said, “We are pleased with the progress on 400G
ZR. Thanks to our collaboration with OIF, we’ve achieved
multi-vendor interoperation and cost effective 400G transport,
allowing Microsoft to offer more bandwidth to our customers and
accelerate our datacenter expansion.”
The Arista 7800R3 is optimized for large scale cloud networks
with up to 460Tbps of capacity, combining 100G and 400G performance
with comprehensive features for Service Provider, Cloud WAN,
Content Edge and Data Center Interconnect (DCI).
