Let us find the solution that uniquely fits you.
The ever-increasing demand for cloud services and the subsequent need to store and process massive amounts of data have pushed your hyperscale data center into a never-ending pursuit of robust and rapid network deployments. Coupled with a renewed emphasis on reducing system latency, you have a lot to analyze, manage, and plan.
With a minimum configuration of 5,000 servers housed in 500 racks, these giants necessitate the deployment of approximately 3.24 million optical fibers, with an accompanying demand for around 6.48 million terminations. Ultra-high fiber count (UHFC) data centers represent a strategic response to the escalating demands of the digital age.
Sumitomo Electric Lightwave has partnered with some of the biggest names in the hyperscale industry to develop Ultra-High-Density Network Solutions: next-generation thinking solutions and products that focus on security, scalability, and the continuity of your infrastructure.
