Do you plan, install or manage a
data center?

Data center cabling planners must examine a variety of different parameters. These parameters include: e.g. space requirements, climate control, power consumption, redundancy, failure safety and access control. It is recommended that the different bodies of standards be applied as required and as they are appropriate to the given purpose at hand.

Applications such as social media and Big Data, new architectures such as dense server virtualization and IP Storage, and the imperative of mobile access to all applications have placed enormous demands on the network infrastructure in data centers.

Monitoring and managing the network‘s infrastructure has never been more challenging. The reason for this challenge lies in the complexity of modern networks, which are often the result of expansions that occur over time and are carried out by third party operators to cope with growth and advances in technology.

The implementation of MPO components and parallel optical connections translates into new challenges for data center planners and decision makers. Cable lengths must be carefully planned, MPO types correctly selected, polarities maintained over the entire link and insertion loss budgets calculated precisely. Short-term changes are either barely possible or are not possible at all, while errors in planning can be expensive.
