Introducing Fujitsu High Speed Transceiver Circuit
The new solution enables high speed and performance for large servers over long distances.
Fujitsu has introduced a 10 Gbps multi-channel transceiver circuitry that increases the data transfer distance within the server by 1,7 times compared to existing technology. The new technology will be used in backplanes as a communication channel for high-performance multiprocessor servers. The solution is able to compensate for data signal distortion on longer channels and increase the data transmission distance available within channels from the current 70 to 120 cm. This allows you to build large and high-performance server systems that connect more processors than was previously possible.
Data centers that support modern cloud computing systems run high-performance and high-density server systems, typically with blade servers or multiprocessor servers. Both types of servers work with a circuit board called a backplane, for which high-density other circuit boards containing processors and data communications chips are installed. The purpose of the backplane is to provide communication between these circuit boards. To build more powerful systems in the future, backplanes will need to transmit data signals at higher speeds and connect more processors into larger systems.
