Cloud IT infrastructure revenues rise despite spending slowdown: IDC
According to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Cloud IT Infrastructure Tracker, vendor revenue from sales of IT infrastructure products (server, enterprise storage, and Ethernet switch) for cloud environments, including public and private cloud, grew 11.4% year over year in the first quarter of 2019 (1Q19), reaching $14.5 billion. IDC also lowered its forecast for total spending on cloud IT infrastructure in 2019 to $66.9 billion – down 4.5% from last quarter’s forecast – with slower year-over-year growth of 1.6%.

What’s next for data centers? Think micro data centers
The death of the corporate data center may be a bit premature. Yes, enterprises are going cloud, but the data center could become decentralized via “micro data centers.” Micro data centers are essentially exactly what they sound like. They use racks and a much smaller footprint. Some of these micro data centers sit in cases that look like gun lockers. Others are mini racks with integrated systems.
Splice Loss Estimation with the Fujikura 41S Fusion Splicer
Splice Loss Estimation is the process used within the splicer to gauge the amount of optical power lost at the splice joint due to core misalignment. This is accomplished by analyzing the profile image of the fused fiber and is typically common knowledge for fiber optic technicians in today’s industry. However, there is often a lack of clarity regarding the differing splice loss estimation methods. Not all splicers use the same estimation technique, nor do they possess the same level of accuracy or precision. This blog focuses on the Fujikura 41S fusion splicer and its loss estimation advantage compared to other cladding alignment splicers.

Utility Grid Experiences First Cyberattack
The U.S. utility industry may have just experienced its first malicious “cyber event”—or at least the first such event to be reported. The report was a “denial-of-service” attack that disabled Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance devices ringing power grid control systems for the affected locations.
