Today…

2 billion minutes a dayThat’s enough time to travel to the moon and back over 225 thousand times, walk around Earth more than 845 times or travel to Mars more than 5,400 times


But it’s about more than just scaleLiterally millions of apps…delivering information on demand

Where we were…and where we must goConnect becomes an equal participant with Compute and Store

OPnBut How?But How?


Capacity over the last 10 years – we’ve gotten good at it

The cost of bandwidth is down 90%+

One wavelength today carries 2.5X the capacity of an entire DWDM system

Coherent 100G systems are now easier to deploy and turn-up than 10G

While raw capacity is good… … agile capacity is better…
