North America Pluggable Optics for Data Center Market Overview
Pluggable optics are interchangeable transceiver modules that connect various network components, including switches, routers, and servers, in order to convert high-speed electrical signals into optical signals and vice versa. Pluggable optics are most commonly used in data center optics as they are flexible, scalable, and compatible with a broad range of networking devices and standards. One advantage of pluggable optics is that the user can tailor the transceiver inside the module to the data rate and other network architecture requirements, while other optical interconnects use light to transmit data within a compute architecture. The demand for pluggable optics is increasing in data centers, owing to their benefits, such as cost-effectiveness, broad compatibility, and ability to reduce power consumption. They are typically a high-speed and low-power solution and are compatible with various other devices.

North America Pluggable Optics for Data Center Market Drivers and Opportunities
Rising Need for High-Performance Computing to Favor Market
High-performance computing (HPC), or supercomputing, is a practice of combining computing power in a way that produces significantly more horsepower than traditional computers and servers. According to IBM, it is more than one million times faster than the fastest commodity desktop, laptop, or server systems. HPC is a method of processing massive amounts of data at extremely high speeds using multiple computers and storage devices. A high volume of calculations in a short amount of time is needed in today's business landscape for faster operations. Many HPC data centers are linked to large private and public companies that require a lot of computing power. The HPC power helps businesses solve problems that would otherwise be impossible to solve using traditional computing systems.
Demand for Energy Efficiency
There is a growing focus on energy conservation and the use of energy-efficient devices. This helps businesses and government authorities achieve substantial energy cost savings. The exponential growth in data traffic majorly drives the progress in energy-saving technologies in the data center. According to a study conducted by Huawei Technologies in 2020, global data traffic will grow 14 times from 2020 to 2030, while ICT energy consumption will increase by 1.5 times. Therefore, the market players are paying more attention to sustainability.
