Dell'Oro Group Announces Appointment of Frank Yang, Expert in Data Center Optical Connectivity, Structured Fiber Cabling

, /PRNewswire/ -- Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center markets, is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Frank Yang to build out coverage on the Data Center Optical Connectivity market. Mr. Yang brings more than 25 years of experience in networking and data center technologies, spanning high-speed connectivity, data center networking architectures, and product strategy. His extensive technical and market experience positions him to provide in-depth analysis of the rapidly evolving market , including Optical Interconnects, Ethernet Adapters and Smart NICs, as well as the traffic driven by AI workloads.

"AI is transforming networking from a supporting interconnect function into a core determinant of data center performance, scale, and efficiency. Data center optical connectivity is advancing rapidly in speed, architecture, packaging, and thermal design. Server networking is also evolving quickly in port configurations, programmability, and form factors," said Yang.

"To address these massive shifts, my focus will be on building comprehensive quantitative forecasting models for the Data Center Optical Connectivity market—covering 800G, 1.6T, and 3.2T pluggable modules, coherent optics, near-packaged optics (NPO), and co-packaged optics (CPO)—as well as tracking the rapid evolution of server Ethernet adapters and smart NICs.

"This work is driven by the explosive scaling demands of AI clusters, where traditional interconnect bottlenecks threaten compute efficiency. By synthesizing a holistic perspective across server architectures, high-performance networking fabrics, thermal and power efficiency requirements, and data center physical connectivity infrastructure, we can deliver a unified view of how system co-design shapes the future of AI infrastructure. I look forward to bringing my industry experience to Dell'Oro Group as AI infrastructure evolves," continued Yang.

Prior to joining Dell'Oro Group, Mr. Yang held product management and engineering roles at Legrand, CommScope, and Dell, with extensive experience in data center connectivity and Ethernet technologies supporting cloud and AI infrastructure. He holds an MBA from The University of Texas at Austin and graduate degrees in Electrical Engineering from Texas Tech University and Chongqing University, and has contributed to industry conferences, papers, and patents.
