Kaiam achieves this through patent­ed use and pack­ag­ing of lasers, optics, elec­tron­ics and opti­cal wave­guides. Today’s pri­ma­ry method for com­mu­ni­cat­ing with­in and between data cen­ters is high speed elec­tron­ics, which has been the back­bone of the data cen­ter ecosys­tem for 20 years. Due to the expo­nen­tial increase in the amount of net­work traf­fic caused by stream­ing video, on-demand ser­vices, and oth­er appli­ca­tions, old­er meth­ods have exhaust­ed their abil­i­ty to keep up with ris­ing demand for band­width and costs.
