Summary

As data centers evolve to meet the growing demands of low-latency applications, AI, and cloud computing, upgrading to 400G/800G is no longer a question of 'if,' but 'how.' However, without rigorous testing strategies in place, issues like interoperability failures, transceiver malfunctions, and performance bottlenecks can derail the deployment, turning upgrades into costly and time-consuming challenges.

Join François Marcotte, EXFO's high-speed network subject matter expert, to uncover the common challenges that can disrupt 400G/800G deployments and the best practices to ensure a seamless transition.

Topics include:

• Critical Role of Testing in Successful Deployments
• Identifying and Overcoming Interoperability Challenges
• Transceiver validation to prevent failures and optimize performance
• Ensuring optimal network performance to prevent bottlenecks and enhance efficiency
