Market Report
January 2024 Optics for AI Clusters
Report Abstract
This report explores the evolving role of optics in AI Clusters, covering both connectivity and switching. It features data for the sales of optical transceivers for compute nodes and AI Clusters in Cloud datacenters for 2021-2023 with a forecast for 2024-2029. Importantly, the forecast includes detailed models for the deployment of optics in AI Clusters (back-end networks) at Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft and Alibaba, to illustrate the differences between the optics used in compute nodes (front-end networks). A detailed analysis of the pivotal role being played by optical connectivity including NVLink and CXL/PCIe in the implementation of AI Cluster architectures is central to this report.
The report is based on confidential sales information provided by optical components vendors, as well as detailed analysis of publicly available data released by leading component and equipment manufacturers along with considerable input from industry experts.
