Data Center Cable Infrastructure

viavisolutions
Data Centers vary widely in nature and can be roughly classified as hyperscale, multi-tenant, and private. A critical and common component in the operation of such data centers is the installation and maintenance of the physical cabling infrastructure. A fundamental change taking place is the evolution from cables using classic connectors on copper (RJ-45) or fiber optics (LC) to cables terminated by pluggables such as SFP or QSFP. This represents a new challenge as these cables, called Active Optical Cable (AOC) or Direct Attach Copper (DAC), are not easily validated and tested.

The Journey to Data Center Environmental Sustainability JENNIFER JACKSON

As digital transformation of business operations and our personal lives accelerates, Data Center capacity needs to keep up. At the same time pressure is mounting to grow capacity in an environmentally responsible way. Data Center operators must mobilize plans that include energy optimization, reductions of waste, restrictions on water usage and minimized greenhouse gas emissions. A holistic plan will cover the lifecycle from Data Center design, construction and operation. We will discuss how companies can respond to the drivers of sustainability with a holistic environmental Data Center sustainability strategy including metrics to use, ways to measure, planning and designing software, sustainable hardware solutions and the portfolio of sustainability services available.
