Why Is Data Center Security Important in the Cloud?
Digital transformation, characterized by rapid digitization and the shift to the cloud, is increasingly becoming popular across industries. And while this comes with several benefits such as cost optimization, scalability, and increased efficiency, it does pose several cybersecurity risks. Fortunately, several cloud service providers offer high-end security measures to keep their clients’ data safe from […]
DWDM Mux/Demux Overview-Working Principle and Different Types
DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) is a combination of a set of optical wavelengths that can be transmitted with one fiber. This is a laser technology used to increase bandwidth on existing fiber-optic backbones. It enables optical fiber networks to transmit signals of several wavelengths simultaneously. In DWDM system, Mux/Demux are two indispensable components. How […]
