  • How to interconnect two data centers

    How to interconnect two data centers

    A data center interconnect (DCI) is similar in theory to a cross connect but uses electronics, typically DWDM, to establish a point-to-point connection between two data centers so they can share resources or improve other operations such as load balancing. When you double up on datacenters, there's the associated question of how you interconnect them, Datacenter Interconnect or #DCI. Instead of routing traffic between sites over the public internet, DCI uses dedicated circuits that provide. The data center interconnect (DCI) application was a hot topic at the recent Optical Fiber Communications Conference and Exhibition (OFC) in San Diego.
