Data Center Recorded Webinars | Corning

This webinar will discuss learning applications, faster CPUs, server-less compute and distributed flash storage. Upgrading data centers from 100G to 400G provides the simplest, lowest power and most cost-effective way to continue to scale network performance. 400G Ethernet also introduces new optics media types, the OSFP and QSFP-DD form factors, new fiber-plant choices, and options to reuse existing fiber infrastructure

This webinar will provide an overview of port breakout, defined as taking a parallel port and breaking it down to a lower speed port and its implications on structured cabling. We will also cover a new trend of certain customers wanting to break out transceiver ports at the transceiver interface and not in the structured cabling. We will introduce the proposed new connector designs and discuss the applications where they will potentially be used.

This webinar will provide an overview of the rapidly growing Data Center Interconnect space which has been giving rise to extreme density cabling solutions. We will cover the different cabling approaches to achieving this high density as well as the design and solution considerations that need to be evaluated with each different cabling solution.

This webinar will review the market for passive fiber network monitoring, often referred to as fiber tapping. Discussion will focus on the design tradeoffs of the different monitoring options on the market and discuss the implications of these options on structured cabling designs.

As data center and enterprise network transmission speeds continue to increase, the evolution to a multigenerational cabling infrastructure becomes fundamental. This webinar will emphasize the benefits of specifying fiber-optic cabling that supports multiple generations of high-speed data transmission and will also discuss recent updates to industry standards.

Optical network design is constantly evolving with the need for optical connection density steadily growing. Existing simplex and duplex optical connector designs limit required density increases when duplex granularity is needed for individual access. A new Very Small Form Factor (VSFF) connector, the MDC connector, is paving the way for higher density duplex connectivity and opening boundaries for new optical cabling architectures.

This presentation discusses the importance of inspecting and cleaning the connector end face, the approval/rejection criteria defined by the standards, as well as the methods to clean and maintain clean the connector.

The appeal of 400G Ethernet is clear: Bandwidth demand continues to grow, fueled by new Artificial Intelligent and Machine Learning applications, faster CPUs, server-less compute and distributed flash storage. This webinar explains what 400G Ethernet is, what’s involved in upgrading physical datacenter infrastructure to 400G, and how to choose the optics, cable and fiber-plant to best suit your applications.

This webinar discusses the importance of extreme density solutions. At lower densities the solutions were more forgiving, but at this density there is reason to optimize. Maximizing every square inch of conduit has become a bigger driver for hyperscalers and MTDCs

This webinar will emphasize the benefits of specifying fiber-optic cabling that support multiple generations of high-speed data transmission and will also discuss recent updates to industry standards. This helps support multi-fiber connectivity and testing procedures that provide ease of network certification for today and tomorrow.

Where is the data center market going? Watch this webinar to hear Corning’s experts share insight on the customers, market, and trends we’ve seen and plan to see moving forward. They will also provide an update on the transceiver roadmap for what will be needed to meet this new data center growth.

During this webinar, Corning and Arista Networks partner to review transceiver technology roadmap, different ways to perform port breakout, and cabling implications in the data center. In addition, we will demonstrate how 400G platforms allow data centers and high-performance computing environments to address growing needs for higher bandwidth at lower cost and power per gigabit.

Stay in the know on the latest updates to the ANSI/TIA 568.3-E. This webinar will cover in detail each change, the drivers behind the updates, and potential impact  each will have on installers and designers within specific network infrastructures. Topics that will be covered include cabling, hardware, connectorization, polarity, transitions, performance, and testing.
