Digitimes calls the approach "Scale-Across," which could help cloud-service providers keep adding computing capacity even when power, cooling or land at a single site becomes limited. The shift is expected to boost demand for advanced optical networking, creating opportunities for suppliers like Ciena, Nokia, Cisco and Marvell, the report says.
