Disaggregated compute might be able to leverage this in the data center. I could use this to get my server, gaming PC and home theater to share memory bandwidth on top of storage, heck maybe some direct memory access between distributed accelerators.

Gotta eat those PCI lanes somehow

I don't think people would fuck with amplifiers in a DC environment. Just using more fiber would be so much cheaper and easier to maintain. At least I haven't heard of any current Datacenters even using conventional DWDM in the C-band.

At best Google was using Bidir Optics, which I suppose is a minimal form of wavelength division multiplexing.
