Drut Technologies Announces Collaboration with Ranovus to Deliver Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) Solution for AI, ML and HPC Computing Clusters

OTTAWA, ON, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ranovus Inc., a leading provider of next-generation AI-optimized interconnect solutions, and Drut Technologies specialize in transforming data center infrastructure through innovative, software-defined photonic solutions. Drut's core focus is enabling highly efficient, dynamic infrastructure environments for artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. Drut delivers the system architecture and control plane to harness the benefits of an all-photonic fabric architecture for AI computing clusters.

Drut's 2500 series, as highlighted in recent announcements (https://drut.io/01-14-2025-press-release) enables PCIe Gen 5 servers to be directly connected to photonic fabrics with full x16 line speed of 32G per serdes. The integration of Ranovus's ODIN® CPO optical interconnect technology further enhances this performance by addressing the critical bandwidth, density, and power consumption challenges associated with traditional high-speed electrical interconnects. The 2500 series is one of the first commercially available solutions using the CPO technology.

"We are thrilled to partner with Drut to bring the transformative benefits of our CPO technology to their game-changing 2500 series," said Hojjat Salemi, Chief Business Development Officer Ranovus. "Drut's unwavering focus on pushing the boundaries of network performance aligns perfectly with our mission to revolutionize data center interconnect. Together, we are empowering the next generation of AI and hyperscale infrastructure for PCIe Gen 5/Gen 6/Gen 7 and 100Gbps and 200Gbps Ethernet connectivity."

"Ranovus's ODIN® CPO technology is a true industry disruptor," said William R. Koss, CEO and President of Drut Technologies. "Integrating their solution into our 2500 series allows us to deliver unparalleled levels of performance and density while significantly reducing power consumption and footprint. This partnership underscores our commitment to providing leading-edge networking solutions that anticipate and exceed the evolving needs of our customers."

This collaboration addresses the increasing demand for higher bandwidth and lower latency in modern data centers. As AI, machine learning, and other data-intensive applications become increasingly prevalent, the need for efficient, high-density, and scalable interconnect solutions continues to grow. The combined expertise of Ranovus and Drut offers a compelling solution to these challenges, enabling the creation of powerful and sustainable data center infrastructure.
