[AusNOG] Multi-Mode vs. Single-Mode in DC's

[Richard Pruss (rpruss)]

At the last OCP summit Facebook, hosted a session with Google, Equinix and Microsoft outlining how and why they are moving their data centers from MMF to SMF, and how they are engineering the cost down.

I do not know if they have put the recordings somewhere, but here is the agenda item:

Hi all,

I wanted to put a question to the community to help some University researchers.

They are wanting to know how much, in DC's particularly people rollout MMF vs. SMF

They're working on a technology to extend the capacity of Multi-Mode, to the speeds of Single-Mode - and want to know if there is a market for it.

My gut however was that for a while, not many people bother rolling out MMF as the costs are rather similar when you compare it against comparable features.

I for one haven't rolled out almost any MMF for a few years now, and I was wondering if that was similar for most others here.

Thanks all for any feedback - on or off-list.


PS... If anyone is into Virtual Reality, IoT, Wearables, etc... there is an event in Sydney tonight called Convergence (http://convergence.events/). If you are interested, register @ http://convergence.events/register and use theCode "Conv2 FinalVIP".  See you there if you can come.
