Neoscalers are reshaping the AI economy, but scaling GPU clusters and distributed infrastructure requires more than compute—it demands ultra-low latency, high capacity, and power-efficient optical networking. This eBook explores the challenges of scaling capacity with demand, managing latency performance, operating within power and cooling limits, and maximizing reliability. It outlines how coherent optics, programmable photonics, intelligent software control, and lifecycle services combine to help neoscalers design, deploy, operate, and evolve AI-ready networks.
