NTT, in collaboration with Hitachi Vantara, achieved real-time data synchronization between storage arrays located 600 km apart. They also demonstrated data transfer speeds of 455 terabits per second across 1,000 km using standard optical fibers. Central to this technology is the Innovative Optical and Wireless Network (IOWN), which aims to significantly reduce power consumption, improve capacity, and minimize latency by 2030. IOWN seeks to enhance optical communications further into computing infrastructures to maintain high-speed data flow and lessen reliance on slower electronic systems.
In December 2024, NTT and Hitachi Vantara successfully virtualized storage arrays over 600 km with real-time data synchronization, pushing boundaries of data transfer technology.
NTT reported data transmission speeds of 455 terabits per second across 1,000 km using ordinary optic fibers, showcasing significant advancements in networking capabilities.
The Innovative Optical and Wireless Network (IOWN) aims for a 100x reduction in power consumption, a 125x increase in transmission capacity, and minimal latency by 2030.
Optical communications are immune to electromagnetic interference, allowing for faster and more reliable long-distance data transfer compared to electronic systems.
