Learn what it takes to deploy UALink technology at rack scale beyond just the specification requirements in this conference talk from the Open Compute Project. Discover the essential components needed to transform UALink from a promising standard into deployed hardware and software infrastructure, including silicon requirements, system designs, RAS (Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability) features, comprehensive management software, and compliance-interoperability testing. Explore the critical workstreams and best practices that hyperscalers and cloud service providers need to accelerate deployment of rack-scale UALink solutions as demand for scale-up AI continues to grow. Gain practical insights from Astera Labs and their partners on the comprehensive ecosystem development required to bring new fabric technologies like UALink to life, moving beyond the UALink 200G 1.0 specification released in April 2025 to address real-world deployment challenges faced by the growing consortium of over 100 member companies.
