Pre-configured Data Center Cabinets Can Save 30 Percent on Time and labor
Data Center Interconnect Evolution – 1251893
The data center interconnect space continues to be among the most vibrant within the optical communications landscape. This webcast will provide an overview of the current state of the data center interconnect application and cover emerging technologies that could address different application segments.
Clever patching for high availability in the data center
Adds, moves and changes in the data center require re-patching. Network documentation is essential to enable a comprehensive overview and offers starting points if failures or problems occur, or special upgrades have to be imported. Equally important: the documentation also helps to identify possible risks in the event of planned changes or extensions to the network infrastructure. Misplaced patches can lead to interruptions in active data transmission and thus to data loss, which can be cost-intensive for the company.
Webinar: Curbing the Cost of Data Center Cooling
Not only are cooling costs for data centers already red hot and rising with energy prices, they are impacted by continual changes in IT equipment and racks. According to ENERGY STAR, the energy required for a data center’s cooling is 10 times greater than that required for other buildings regardless of climate region. This webinar will provide tips on reducing cooling costs in both free-standing data centers and in-building centers.
Data Center Outages Cost Nearly $9,000 Per Minute
Yikes! A study from Emerson Network Power, 2016 Cost of Data Center Outages, estimates that every minute of an unplanned outage in the data center costs $8,851 in 2013, up from $5,617 in 2010. Maximum downtime costs are rising faster than average, increasing 81% since 2010 to a current high of $2,409,991. UPS system failure, including UPS and batteries, is the #1 cause of unplanned data center outages, accounting for one-quarter of all such events. Cybercrime represents the fastest growing cause of data center outages, rising from 2% of outages in 2010 to 18% in 2013 to 22% for those sampled in the latest cost of downtime study.
Robots in the Data Center
According to a recent study, each minute of data center downtime costs approximately $9,000. Network operators searching for ways to improve uptime, are turning to robots to automatically update the physical layer. Robotic fiber switching adds hands-free automation via software to the physical network connection activity. Each passive fiber connection is securely latched, low latency, and agnostic to data rates or protocols.
Make or Break: How Cabling is Key to the Future of the Data Center
Industry 4.0, machine-to-machine learning and software-as-a-service are other examples of new technologies that data center operators are having to react to and increase storage for, as global cloud data center traffic grows at an unprecedented rate. Although 400G is currently a very small market, adoption of this technology will grow over the coming years. To ensure data centers are ultra-fast, high-performing, and able to adapt quickly, 400G is key for the future. Hyperscale cloud data centers will be the drivers of the development of 400G, with this momentum expected to increase throughout 2020 and beyond.
Stack Infrastructure expands Chicago data center presence
Stack Infrastructure will significantly expand its Chicago data center campus. The new multi-story data center will offer at least 20MW of additional critical capacity with the possibility of additional growth, bringing Stack’s total capacity at its Chicago data center campus to at least 33MW.
Things You Should Know About 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP –
1000BASE-LX/LH SFP, one of the commonly used fiber optic transceivers, is now widely used in optical transmission systems. This kind of SFP is similar with the other SFPs in basic working principle and size. But it is compatible with the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX standard, operating on standard single-mode fiber-optic link spans of up to 10 km and up to 550 m on any multimode fibers.
Webinar: Connectivity for the Edge Computing Era
Data centers have been trending from few, highly-centralized mega-facilities to many, distributed data centers populating metros. Edge computing brings high-bandwidth and low latency access to applications closer to users and devices than ever before. As edge computing redefines the future of data centers, it must also redefine the future of network connectivity. This webinar addresses the use cases driving edge computing, the primary connectivity requirements, including data rates and latency, the role of software automation, and more.
