A comprehensive and discussion-provoking panel conversation, involving about the following decisions to consider when it comes to the importance of design and installation of fiber optic infrastructures and the equipment they support within a data center environment.
• Bulletproof Fiber redundancy– Center Row, or End row, DC layouts?-what is best design for fiber infrastructure to maintain connectivity-always.
• In Rack or Above Rack Connectivity, what is right?
• Single mode vs. Multimode Fiber–discussing the differences and what is the best bang for your buck?
• Splice or not to Splice?-the good and bad of pulling large fiber counts to designated splice points create a zone connectivity rather than pulling fiber to every rack or every row.
• Trunk or Not to Trunk? – data centers are continuously evaluating sm fiber and the sizing of trunks. This discussion centers around the varying decision-making criteria for using trunking cables.
• Cleaning – Light loss is becoming ever more vital. As links carry higher data rates, the amount of light that can be lost shrinks correspondingly, making cleaning even more essential.
Takeaway
• Panel of real world expertise and lessons learned by data center infrastructure subject matter experts.
• Discussion on each subject and the importance of each within a data center environment.
• Thought provoking options on the efficiencies of legacy, current and trending solutions for each subject.
• This specialized discussion around the fiber infrastructure of data centers will provoke a high level of audience participation and involvement, which will make this particular presentation very interactive.
