What I do not know is what percentage of the total power consumption is attributed to the current photonic modulators in the data center.

Thanks Lewrock for your Data Center annual electricity draw per year. $300 mil is massive. Imagine almost almost $1 mil/day in cost.

I hope your unanswered question above in quote gets answered by Lightwave or maybe some other source on current energy costs for modulators/drivers as a % of data center's cost. Then we will how understand how powerful that energy savings really is, for using Lightwave modulators, as a whole of the Data Center's electrical costs.

The data transmission speeds and not having to upgrade (capex) is very huge and I am sure going to catch the attention of all the cloud companies like Amazon, Facebooks, Microsoft, Google, IBM, and on and on.....

Hi Lewrock,
Maybe this board can do a better job than I, but as rough estimate, based on the enclosed course, it is my understanding that the electrical consumption related strictly to the transport of information in the DC, in exclusion of cooling and others, hovers around 34% of the overall bill: see Chap 5, graph p104-.
I would be glad to get a more technical read from any other members here...

Thanks in advance,

AR.
