IBM Unleashes Green Optical Link
Technology has evidently set its mark in the world today and one thing that it has now been busy developing is applying the green touch to adhere towards environmentally standards the world requires today. This trend has covered most technological factors including gadgets, infrastructure and computer paraphernalia.
IBM, widely popular for IT solutions has come up with another green development program known as the “Green Optical Link”. It caters towards network development solutions, something that is a necessity in the world today.
“The technology that IBM’s developing uses photons of light, instead of electrons, to transmit information. That, the company says, promises networks in which 8 trillion bits of information could be transferred in a second using power equivalent to that required by a single, 100-watt bulb. That’s about 1% of the power that’s needed by today’s standard electrical interconnects.”
