Throughout history, the fire has systematically wreaked havoc on the industry. Today’s data centers and network rooms are under enormous pressure to maintain seamless operations. Some companies risk losing millions of dollars with one data center catastrophe. In fact, industry studies tell us that 43% of businesses that closed due to fire never reopen and
How many of you are really aware of the two terms’ availability and reliability? How these two terms are related to data center services and what is the importance of those? Let us discuss this topic of availability and reliability of a data center. Availability Availability in its simplest term is the degree to which
Modern data center equipment racks can produce very concentrated heat loads. In facilities of all sizes, from a small data center supporting office buildings to dedicated enterprise/co-location facilities, designing to achieve precise control of the airflow through the room that collects and removes equipment waste heat has a significant impact on energy efficiency and equipment
In the past, IT equipment manufacturers and their data center operators were focused more on maximum performance, not energy efficiency. While the newest generations of computing hardware have continued to increase in performance, they have also become highly focused on energy efficiency. In fact, it has been shown that in many cases the cost of
I hope you have read about my previous article on the necessity of data center energy efficiency and the factors that affect efficiency. The second thing to be considered is the power system efficiency, various methods to be followed and how can we achieve this. The entire world is aware of environmental issues like global
Previous article has given you an overall idea about the MPO cables and connectors. In this article, we will understand the structure of MPO Connectors and cables and MPO Polarity. MPO Polarity and it’s different types are very important for us to understand when it comes to cabling. MTP/MPO connector factory terminated assembly can house
We all know the importance of SFP transceivers. In fact, different types of SFPs and their advantages have been discussed in many articles. But it is also important to understand what is inside SFP Modules, how the functions of transmitting, receiving and signal conversions(electric signal to light and light to an electric signal) are happening.
If you are a person working on fiber optic cables and connectors, you must have at least heard about BiDI SFP connectors and used it. Have you ever think that why are these modules are having a single port? Is that because it can do either of transmitting/receiving? If not, how does it differ from
In my previous article, we have seen two different ways of testing optical fiber cables. We will discuss further more methods of optical fiber testing. 3) Optical Loss Test Set(OTLS) or Light source power meter(LSPM). The fiber optic link attenuation is tested using Optical Loss Test Set(OTLS) or a Light source power meter(LSPM). This type of testing is the most accurate
As the ever-increasing popularity of intensive bandwidth applications, the demand for fiber optic installations and infrastructures has accelerated parallelly. Optical fiber cable thus has possessed a rather essential position in the telecom industry. In today’s fast-paced workplace maximizing productivity is essential. Whether installing new fiber links or troubleshooting an existing network, the faster you can
