3 Reasons Why IT Leaders Should Get To Know CXL
DCIG, Thursday, January 11th, 2024
Compute Express Link (CXL) is the new locus of data center innovation. It will soon prove to be a key enabler of improvements in data center performance and efficiency for hyperscalers and enterprises alike. David Hall, VP of NVIDIA Solutions at Lambda recently said, that the differentiation in data centers will be in the interconnect. CXL is that interconnect.
Significant advances in the Compute Express Link CPU-to-device interconnect were on display at SC23, and more are being revealed at the Consumer Electronics Expo this week. The CXL ecosystem includes IT infrastructure giants as well as many startups. At SC23, the CXL Consortium booth included demos from IntelliProp, MemVerge, Microchip, Micron, Samsung, XConn Technologies, and many more. Though the products on display were, for the most part, engineering samples, these companies will begin to deliver the benefits of this rising interconnect standard to the marketplace beginning in 2024.
