Hyperscale and cloud data centers have hundreds of thousands of individual servers connected via a high-speed virtual network. Hyperscale/cloud data center operators pursue lower total cost of ownership and more modularity and scalability to offer on-demand IT capacity with the highest efficiency and flexibility at anytime, anywhere.

Hyperscale Data Center Considerations
Leverage Data Center Innovation for Greater Efficiency and Profitability
The data center interconnect application has emerged as an important and fast-growing segment in the network landscape. This article will explore several of the reasons for this growth, including market changes, network architecture changes, and technology changes.
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?
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.
Deploying 400G Ethernet: Optics, cable-plant and data center infrastructure
The appeal of 400G Ethernet is clear: bandwidth demand continues to grow, fueled by new artificial intelligence and machine learning applications, faster CPUs, server-less computer and distributed flash storage. Upgrading datacenters from 100G to 400G provides the simplest, lowest power and most cost-effective way to continue to scale network performance.

Corning® RocketRibbon™ Extreme Density Cable
Corning® RocketRibbon™ Extreme Density Cable
Learn MoreOur RocketRibbon™ extreme-density cables were developed to meet the current demand for high bandwidth capacity. It delivers industry-leading density while providing twice the fiber account in approximately the same footprint as existing central tube and stranded ribbon cables. RocketRibbon solutions are ideal for data center interconnect applications and emerging network needs, such as 5G, where high-fiber availability is essential.

EDGE™ 4x4 Mesh Module
EDGE™ 4x4 Mesh Module
Learn MoreAs networks grew to accommodate bandwidth demands, they also shifted from classical 3-tier network architectures to flatter and wider spine-and-leaf topology. The fully meshed connectivity approach, typical of spine-and-leaf architecture, yields predictable high-speed network performance and reliability. Our EDGE™ 4x4 mesh modules can help you further optimize your network by reducing cost and congestion.
