Summary
Episode 105 of Networking Tech with Fexingo dives into Data Center Interconnect (DCI) — the technology linking geographically separated data centers into a unified network. Lucas and Luna break down how modern DCI uses optical transport, dense wavelength-division multiplexing, and advanced encryption to move petabytes between sites at the speed of light. They explore a real-world example: a major cloud provider connecting three data centers across 800 kilometers with sub-millisecond latency. Learn how DCI enables disaster recovery, active-active workloads, and global content delivery — and why network engineers are now designing for the metro rather than the campus. The hosts also discuss trade-offs between dark fiber and leased wavelengths, and how DCI interacts with software-defined networking. A focused, technical conversation for anyone who builds or manages wide-area networks. #DataCenterInterconnect #DCI #OpticalTransport #DWDM #CloudNetworking #DarkFiber #LeasedWavelength #NetworkLatency #DisasterRecovery #ActiveActive #SDN #Ciena #Cisco #MetroNetwork #Technology #NetworkEngineering #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
