Servers are challenged to process more intricate and diverse types of workloads in cloud, hybrid-cloud and enterprise data centers.

PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) technology is the most important high-speed serial bus in servers. Due to its high bandwidth and low latency characteristics, PCI Express architecture is widely used in various server interconnect scenarios, such as:

According to Tractica, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) markets are set to grow to $118.6 billion by 2025—as  these new technologies are becoming the heart of our digital lives.

I am happy to share that PCI-SIG^® has begun developing the PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) 6.0 specification, targeted for release in 2021.

PCI-SIG has built its reputation on delivering high quality PCI Express^® (PCIe) specifications that have doubled bandwidth on average every three years, while maintaining full backwards compatibility with prior generations.

PCI Express^® – also known as PCIe – used to get a bad rap for being power hungry on servers and PCs. But I’m happy to say that this is no longer the case. Are you aware that PCIe today is extremely power efficient with built-in low power features?
