This is not even a question of complex containerisation orchestration techniques driving multi-cloud servers powering parallelised concurrency threads into some form of esoteric abstracted computing layer. So then, just how deep is the technology innovation going on here? In fact, this is light-based photonics now evolving to create optical quantum computers and the next era of NTT's own development that it channels to its Innovative Optical and Wireless Network (IOWN) Initiative, including its application to optical quantum computing.

As the tech industry funnels billions into AI data centers, chip makers both big and small are ramping up innovation around the technology that connects chips to other chips, and server racks to other server racks. Networking technology has been around since the dawn of the computer, critically connecting mainframes so they can share data. In the world of semiconductors, networking plays a part at almost every level of the stack-from the interconnect between transistors on the chip itself,

[A]s we introduce all photonics networks and this end to end connectivity, extend it into the data center, we're reducing the latency such that it starts to feel much more like it's just another server and another rack in the same data center. We're literally approaching the speed of light in terms of how we transmit signals from end to end and the latency in, say, thousand of kilometers is still measured in a small number of milliseconds

The Innovative Optical and Wireless Network (IOWN) Global Forum emphasizes updating reference architectures and developing early adoption use cases across key industries.

The Innovative Optical and Wireless Network All-Photonics Network (IOWN APN) showcases the future of optical data transfer, allowing real-time interaction between distant performers.
