Optically-enabled server with carbon nanotubes-based memory

A high-density, high-speed optical server comprising:

• a housing enclosing a plurality of blade servers, each blade server comprising a plurality of carbon nanotube (CNT)-based non-volatile memory modules configured to be exempt from soft errors eliminating refresh, reboot, checkpoint, and restart operations, wherein a use of the CNT-based non-volatile memory modules includes eliminating a use of hard drives and/or solid-state drives;
• and
• a plurality of input/output interconnect modules (ICMs) providing optical inputs and outputs for each blade server and positioned at a rear portion of the housing configured to provide optical pathways for routing optical signals between the plurality of blade servers and one or more external devices, the optical signals generated using light of multiple wavelengths,
• wherein a blade server of the plurality of blade servers is connected to at least a pair of the plurality of ICMs via an optical interface generated from mating an electrical mezzanine connector included within an optical network adapter module with corresponding mezzanine slots located on a motherboard of the blade server such that the optical interface provides the optical pathways for routing the optical signals.
