Supporting your cloud and hyperscale data center needs today and in the future

Large Scale, Highly Portable, Flexible, and Scalable

Large Scale, Highly Portable, Flexible, and Scalable

Hyperscale and cloud data centers form the foundation of today’s digital world. With hundreds of thousands of individual servers connected via high-speed networks, hyperscale operators optimize their data centers to provide low total cost of ownership, with modularity and scalability to offer on-demand IT capacity at anytime, anywhere.

As a global leader in developing cutting edge data center solutions, Corning has a long history of innovating to provide the scalable and flexible networks demanded by hyperscale and cloud operators. With a broad array of cable and connectivity offerings to support both preterminated and field spliced network architectures, Corning has a solution for any need, no matter how many fibers need to be deployed, or how quickly the network needs to be up and running. Corning hyperscale and cloud solutions enable the physical infrastructure that makes today’s digital lifestyle possible.

Hyperscale Data Center Considerations

Cabling the Spine-and-Leaf Network Switch Fabric

Cabling the Spine-and-Leaf Network Switch Fabric

Spine-and-leaf architecture provided us the predictable high-speed network performance and the reliability within the network switch fabric. It enables the significant efficiency improvement for the hyperscale and cloud data centers that need to transmit more “east-west” traffic.

Are You Doing Any Port Monitoring?

Are You Doing Any Port Monitoring?

It has been a significant challenge for the hyperscale/cloud data center to maintain high-performance network with low tolerance for the downtime. They need to have full visibility to all network traffic in real time without sacrificing port density and rack space. Port tap network monitoring that can be integrated into the cabling infrastructure is a reliable and future-proof solution to consider.

As the size of our networks grew during the last decade, we saw a shift from classical 3-tier network architectures to a flatter and wider spine-and-leaf architecture. With its fully meshed connectivity approach, spine-and-leaf architecture provided us with the predictable high-speed network performance we were craving and reliability in our network switch fabric.
