Packet switched control, circuit switched data apparatus orchestrated by a low-latency digital programmable controller

A data apparatus orchestrated by a low-latency digital programmable controller, the apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of data requesting devices and a plurality of data sending devices, each of the data requesting devices and data sending devices configured with at least one request port and at least one response port;
• a packet switched network device, coupled to at least the respective request ports of the plurality of data requesting devices and the plurality of data sending devices;
• a low-latency digital programmable controller configured as a central orchestrating unit coupled to the packet switch network device;
• and
• a circuit switched network device coupled to the central orchestrating unit and coupled to at least the respective response ports of the plurality of data requesting devices and the plurality of data sending devices,
• wherein the circuit switched network device is configured to:
• receive a data request from one of the plurality of data requesting devices for data from one of the plurality of data sending devices;
• and
• send the data request to the central orchestrating unit, and
• further wherein the central orchestrating unit is configured to:
• receive the data request from the packet switched network;
• and
• process the data request by dynamically reconfiguring the circuit switched network fabric to create a physical connection between the one of the plurality of data requesting devices and the one of the plurality of data sending devices.
