HUBER+SUHNER today announces that it has received orders for a significant number of POLATIS® optical circuit switches (OCS) from a globally active owner and operator of hyperscale data center infrastructure. The orders are part of a multi-year cooperation agreement that is expected to generate substantial sales over the next three years.
For HUBER+SUHNER, this contract represents a milestone within the strategic growth initiative Data Center. The initiative seeks to capitalise on the rising demand for OCS solutions amid the rapid growth of hyperscale data center infrastructure, driven by cloud computing and the increased use of artificial intelligence (AI). In this context, the company recently opened a new site in Pisary, Poland, dedicated to large-scale OCS production.
AI workloads are hosted on clusters of thousands of graphical processor units (GPUs) interconnected by optical fibers carrying data at hundreds of gigabits per second. An OCS enables on-demand reconfiguration of optical-layer connectivity and can route large volumes of high-speed traffic with minimal latency – essential for AI hyperscale operations.
By maintaining data in the optical domain and eliminating the need for optical-electrical-optical conversions, POLATIS® OCS solutions significantly reduce power consumption and operating expenditure for hyperscale data centers. This enables new data center architectures and allows AI workloads to run more efficiently and at lower cost.
This media release is also available in German. The German version is binding.
