Data Centre Interconnect (DCI) technology
connects two or more data centres together
over short, medium or long distances using high-
speed packet-optical connectivity. ~source: ciena website
TL;DR version
Data centre interconnect (DCI) is a segment of the networking
market that focuses on the technology used to link two or more data
centres so the facilities can share resources. There are many options
for DCI connectivity and selecting the right one depends upon a
wide range of variables, including the location of the data centres,
the distance between data centres, bandwidth and availability
requirements, the capabilities of local service providers and security
concerns

Benefits of DCI
Fun Fact Analysis
>65%
data centre traffic nowadays have
more east-west traffic instead of
traditional north-south traffic.
Virtualization and cloud adoption has led to a lot more
traffic between machines (east-west traffic).
Prioritize
Giving the most significant business advantage to
you by focusing on your core business while
maintaining a scalable connectivity infrastructure.
As a Service, its pocket friendly
Cost effective for distributed infrastructure, flexible cost
structure (spend-as-you-grow), similarly to edge-computing
environment.
High Capacity, Low Latency Connection
Easily scalable to multiple 100Gbps services handoff.
Service providers starts offering 400Gbps services.
Access
Provides extended connectivity to multiple carriers. ISPs and
location, for multi cloud & private connectivity.

Key Trends
According to Ciena Corporation, strong market growth for data
centres in recent years, there are now more than 7,500 around
the globe, with 2,600 packed into the top 20 global cities alone.
The recent COVID-19 outbreak, creating surged of demand
for cloud computing globally; hence, it has expanded the scope
of the data centre interconnect market.
The DCI network connecting data centres has evolved to a
10Tbit/s Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM)
interconnection network.
