The fiber-optic network enables stored information in the cloud to travel at lightning speed, giving end-users faster and more reliable access to the cloud.
The Role Of Fiber Optics In Shaping The Future Of Cloud Technology
Maintaining Hyperscale Data Center Connectivity Through Effective Cleaning
The higher the fiber count of fiber optic cable, the more vulnerable the connectors and end faces are to damage and contamination. Here’s how to keep every fiber and connector perfectly clean to avoid potential problems.
Copper in the Data Center Network: Is It Time to Move On?
The $64,000 question is: Has copper finally outlived its usefulness? The short answer is no. There will continue to be certain low-bandwidth, short-reach applications for smaller data centers where copper’s low price point outweighs its performance limitations. So too, there will likely be a role for CPOs and front-panel-pluggable transceivers.
DAC Cables Shine in the Cloud
High speed direct attach cables (DACs) are keeping up with increasing requirements in data centers, ensuring that switch-to-server network interface connections don’t become the weakest link. DACs have the lowest latency of all short-reach connection options. This is due to measurable delays in optical connections that actively change copper signals to optical signals and then back to copper signals.
5 things to know about the smart buildings market
IoT Analytics’ Smart Building Adoption Report 2022 highlights key trends including: Data Centers are the smartest type of commercial buildings; incentives and regulations focused on sustainability are pushing smart building initiatives; and vendor transparency and availability are key pain points for adopters of smart building technology.
Before lift-off: The parts required for excellent edge computing
Everyone embarking on an edge computing journey should know about the powerhouse. Find out what elements you need to form the perfect edge solution….
Making sense of the data deluge with edge computing
Conventional computing architectures premised on a centralized data center are getting overwhelmed by the deluge of real-time data. The answer lies in edge computing which processes data almost at the source.
High-density connectivity packs fiber into data centers
To accommodate modern networks with extreme density, manufacturers of transceivers have developed ways to increase the number of fiber connections in a given footprint. These transceivers require equally dense fiber connectivity.
Two Reports Highlight 2022 Smart Building Predictions
Risk of cyberattacks increases as more internet of things (IoT) components are connected to the internet, and, according to amBX, 57% of IoT devices are susceptible to medium- or high-severity attacks. Facility executives will have to provide new solutions to protect their buildings that do not hamper the seamless, fully connected building experience that users expect.
Prysmian Group and Panduit Join Forces to Launch White Paper Series for CORD Deployments
Prysmian Group and Panduit have developed a three-part White Paper series to introduce and support CORD deployments. The series describes the value of CORD, reviews the development of CORD through ONF, and explores the market drivers that require CORD and a few of the applications that decreased latency in the network that the CORD initiative can provide. It also features discussion on some of the physical infrastructure considerations involved in CORD, the products that are required to have a successful CORD physical infrastructure solution and how to efficiently install and utilize these products.
