Service Provider Data Centers

Data center square footage is valuable real estate, so maximizing patching density makes sense to provide more space for active equipment. But maintaining network manageability is key to working in these dense environments. Cable and port identification are tough tasks in ultra-high-density environments. And cable management that allows for air flow and access is easier said than done.

Edge, micro or POD data centers are a variation on a theme. Scale-ups for service providers can be at the same time absolutely massive and intensely targeted. This includes physical deployment of containers to accommodate network expansion or allowing for rerouting and redundancy to protect communications through natural disasters. Fiber systems that allow for easy pod connection and disconnection will ease this process, making it repeatable and reliable.

The most popular active gear manufacturers push the limits of technology and are often a step or two ahead of the standards bodies. Understanding how to use cable for technologies that are not yet addressed by industry standards bodies requires trust and experience. As technology alliance partners with manufacturers like Arista, Brocade, Cisco and Extreme, we work to make the latest product introductions work in your network.
