Super high density QSFP-DD for super high performance

If you’re working with high performance computing, you’re looking at QSFP-DD modules because you’re maxing out bandwidth, scalability, efficiency and reliability to support those computational workloads.

Vitex adds more. It’s hardware plus experienced, knowledgeable applications engineering so that you can max out data transmission performance without blowing your budget (or losing your mind). We’re here to help because we’re all about the subtleties and considerations of QSFP-DD that transform an ordinary optical module into the optimal solution:

High data rates – 100G, 200G, 400G and 800G
DSP-free solutions
Scalability so that you can expand (because you will)
High port density to connect more using less space
Energy Efficiency (it’s all about creating less heat)
Versatility with options including single-mode, multi-mode, fiber, copper, modulation…
Future-proofing so that HPC clusters can keep up with computational demand
Backwards compatibility to communicate with QSFP28, QSFP56 and QSFP+ form factors
Reliability (ask about our in-house lab)
Ultra-low latency to create as close to just-in-time results
Interoperability to work with the equipment that’s in place

QSFP-DD modules are highly desirable and it’s a crowded market with high variability in features, reliability and support. Selecting the right one is easier with Vitex at your side.

Lightning-fast data transmission with 200G AOCs!

When connections are short and space is tight, the pre-assembled form factor of active optical cables can replace transceivers-plus-cabling and offer additional significant advantages:

Super high data rates for connecting servers and switches within clusters
Supports proprietary nonstandard data rates
Super low latency
Scalability
Incredibly space efficient due to compact size and flexible cable
Plug-and-play deployment
High bandwidth for large data volumes
EMI immunity
Energy efficient to reduce cooling costs
Flexible deployment for short and medium-distances
High speed – 10G, 25G, 40G, 100G and 200G
Breakout options for connecting devices of different speeds

Overall, AOCs are a valuable optical interconnect solution in HPC clusters and computing environments where high-speed, low-latency, and high-bandwidth data transmission are essential for meeting the demands of data-intensive and computationally complex tasks.

Creating networks, one connection at a time

Vitex offers products that include the expertise of an applications engineer. And that’s why our customers are so enthusiastic about tapping our knowledge. Our optical engineering team carefully evaluates the unique needs of each network application to craft optical systems that provide the required performance, reliability and efficiency.

Your responsibility is to know your product or system and its performance criteria. Our role is to gain enough understanding of your application to recommend the optimal optical solution. And alternatives. Considerations include wavelength range, distance, data rate and capacity, environmental conditions, signal quality, power budget, compatibility, future planning, security, interoperability, compliance and, naturally, cost.
