AI Data Center Interconnect Market Projected to Expand at 15.3% CAGR to $53.4B
Question
AI Data Center Interconnect Market Projected to Expand at 15.3% CAGR to $53.4B
Direct answer
As frontier AI models exceed the power and physical capacity of single data center facilities, operators are deploying high-speed optical data center interconnects across multi-building campuses. The projected expansion to $53.35 billion by 2035 underscores the transition to high-density coherent optics and automated optical switching fabrics. — bullish pressure on ANET.
