Broadband access growth demands smart data centers

Communications technology continues to advance, reaching new levels of complexity and speed, resulting in ever-increasing volumes of network traffic, and impacting nearly every aspect of the network, from the end users accessing applications and resources to the smart data centers that host them. Smart data centers leverage intelligent infrastructures to accommodate growing demand while ensuring operational efficiency, mitigate risk, and generally increase data center productivity.

While this is a logical evolution driven by the convergence of communications and computing, the perpetual innovation in communications and networking solutions only underscores the fact that data centers must increase their focus on infrastructure to ensure their operational efficiency improves. Despite technological enhancements, the need for infrastructure efficiency remains constant...
