CommScope propels data centers into the future with high-speed fiber platform
New technology paves the way for terabit speeds .
CommScope has introduced Propel , a high-speed fiber platform designed to help data center managers respond to the exponential increase in demand they are experiencing for computing power .
This new technology facilitates the migration to terabit speeds , by providing reliable connectivity and a robust network infrastructure that aligns with rapidly emerging data center applications , enabling faster , more efficient access to data .
Data center demands have soared as workers , students , nurses , businesses , local communities and government agencies have moved to cloud computing , streaming services and AI applications . The industry continues to respond to an increase in economic life online by building new data centers and investing in ways to dramatically increase data center capacity .
“ Over the past few years , we have witnessed extraordinary technical advances and a rise in computing devices that connect to the real world . Data centers are key assets in the data-driven economy and it ’ s critical that the industry pay attention to energy usage and space requirements as we move toward terabit speeds ,” said John Schmidt , Senior Vice President , CommScope ’ s building and data center business .
“ CommScope ’ s Propel solution was engineered to ensure data center operators can maximize existing infrastructure investments while preparing for future applications in a smarter and more efficient manner .”
