EPIC Online Technology Meeting on Co-packaged Optics for Hyperscale Datacenters
Online Event



With data-centers traffic growing at an unprecedented pace, fueled by advances in AI and Machine Learning, the networking infrastructure must scale in capacity while maintaining or even reduce its total power consumption and footprint. How move forward to the hyperscale data center operations with the introduction of the next generation of a second- generation Co-packaged Optics (CPO)? Definitely it’s the right time to discuss about  CPO 2.0 addressing the user requirements and identifying strategic collaborations.

Spirit of the meetings

During these online technology meetings, we are looking for the challenges the industry is facing and bringing together the entire supply chain to address these challenges. Bringing together end-users with component suppliers and system integrators that will answer the EPIC question “What can you do for them and what can they do for you” creates the perfect foundation to establish new business relationships and find ways for new collaborations and partnerships.
