The demand for high-speed data communications is rapidly increasing, changes to transmission speeds and expansions in data center capacities may spur this trend. Therefore, the market is ready to move to 25G and 100G switches, which can be built in new configurations for large cloud service providers and data center owners. This article mainly analyzes the […]
Data Center
Leaf-Spine Topology and Its Construction Examples
For many years, data centers have been built in three-tier architecture, comprised of the core, aggregation and access layers. But with the data center consolidation, virtualization, hyper-converged systems springing up, the way data flows is shifting from traditional north-south to east-west inside data center. As the volume of east to west traffic increases, network bottlenecks […]
How to Run Cables in Multi-Floor Data Center With Fiber Enclosures?
In the previous post—Modular Patching Solutions for Flexible Cable Management, I have introduced one kind of FHD fiber enclosure with user-friendly slide-out drawer and flexible mounting options. Actually, besides that rack mount fiber enclosure, there is another kind of FHD fiber enclosure useful in cable running and managing: wall mount fiber enclosure. It is very […]
MTP-8 Solution: Future-Proof Connectivity in Data Center
In most data centers, MTP cable is widely used for high density application. MTP-12 connectivity and MTP-24 connectivity are the two common types of cabling connections, which use links based on increments of 12 and 24, such as 12-fiber trunk cables and 24-fiber trunk cables. In addition to MTP-12 and MTP-24, there is another MTP […]
How to Get Proper Cable Management in Data Center?
Data center is the heart that pumps the lifeblood of your business. Without it, everything stops. And when there is anything wrong in the data center, so does your business. For many data centers, managing cables is an afterthought. But actually, cable management is one of the most important aspects of data center design. Following […]
Cabling Options for 40G Data Center
It is known to all that SFP and SFP+ are commonly used for 1G and 10G network, while QSFP is normally used for 40G network. The interface changes need different connectors to achieve network connectivity. To support 40G network, what cabling infrastructure is feasible? This article will discuss the cabling options for 40G data center. […]
