Hyperscale and cloud data center is the data center with hundreds of thousands of individual servers that are connected via a high-speed virtual network. Hyperscale/cloud data center operators pursue lower total cost of ownership and higher-level modularity and scalability in order to offer the end users on-demand IT capacity with highest efficiency and flexibility at any time 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 MoreCorning’s extreme-density cabling solution was developed to meet today’s demand for the highest bandwidth capacity in a duct installation. RocketRibbon™ provides industry-leading density providing twice the fiber count in the approximately same footprint of existing central tube and stranded ribbon tube design cables. RocketRibbon is especially suited for data center interconnect applications and other emerging network needs such as 5G where high-fiber availability is critical.

EDGE™ 4x4 Mesh Module
EDGE™ 4x4 Mesh Module
Learn MoreAs 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.
