The principal purpose of infrastructure is not only to provide the organization with uninterrupted applications’ efficiency of, but it also has a direct impact on the overall performance of the data center. To increase the performance of the entire network, the three significant aspects of structured cabling, racks and cabinets and cable management are of crucial importance.
Here are a few considerations that you should take into account to improve the performance of the data center:
- Choose the right cabling solution and make sure the solution provides support for both the copper and fiber media.
- For maximum channel performance and efficiency, use a cabling solution that comes with a co-engineered cable and connectivity.
- Go for flexible and scalable cabinets and racks with adjustable rails, airflow management options, and cable support and protection. These scalable racks are also great for supporting higher weight onset.
- Collaborate with a manufacturer who is well aware of the current trends, new and developing tech requirements.
The data centers should be able to adapt to newer equipment and support the shifting business demands and requirements. To make sure that not only the data center is quick to deploy at lower costs, but it also easy to change. For that, you need to choose an infrastructure solution that optimizes time.
However, over-sized and over-populated infrastructure system is not the right way to expand and develop the data center. At the same time, the infrastructure should provide support to the common topologies such as ToR (top of the racks), MoR (middle of the racks) and EoR (end of racks).
To make sure that the infrastructure provides complete support to all these topologies, go for the modular design solution. Coupled with the benefits of standardization and customization, the modular solution offers scalability and flexibility. The modular solution provides you with time-saving attributes, along with easy modularity and expansion.
In a modular solution, all the devices and data center elements work in collaboration with each other, which optimizes the setting up and organization time. It also enables you to make adjustments and changes to the network arrangement while supporting technology upgrade without causing major infrastructural disruptions.
