Traditionally, transporting data between geographically distributed data centers required leasing high-capacity circuits from service providers or investing in dedicated optical transport networks. However now, data center interconnect (DCI) connections over dark fiber, using coherent pluggable optics, offer a strategic alternative that reduces both the cost and complexity of connecting data centers to support AI applications.
