I was recently invited to speak at several events on the Arabian Peninsula. copper clad aluminum wire suppliers Obtaining visas and vaccination documents in preparation for the almost three-week, five-city tour was quite a challenge—as was airport security once I arrived. Apparently, no one liked the idea of the electronics and wires of Belden’s demonstration kit traveling in the airliner cargo hold…
While much of my adventure could be better summed up in a travel warning blog, I did have the opportunity to visit with colleagues, customers and partners to glean plenty of feedback on the data center trends of the region. In doing so, I realized that the portion of my presentation focusing on energy savings wasn’t exactly of great concern in the region—in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, gasoline is just 45 cents a gallon.
Following are some trends I saw that do matter in the Middle East.

Reasons for Using Shielded Cable
Like a shield used during battle, shielding in cables acts as a barrier that protects the cable from external threats, such as electrical interference (EMI). It also prevents cable signals from interfering with surrounding cables and equipment.

Most of us understand the need for security at the main data center entrance, as we certainly do not want those with unauthorized access touching critical networking equipment.
Unfortunately, with so much data—from copper clad aluminum wire suppliers personal information to intellectual property—now being transmitted and stored via the data center, protecting that information from within is becoming a greater concern than ever before.
That’s why bringing security down to cabinet level makes perfect sense. Let’s take a closer look at why.

As the need for speed in the data center continues to grow, you’ve probably been bombarded with high speed assembly terms like SFP+, QSFP+, interoperability, DAC, AOC, EEPROM … copper clad steel wire manufacturers and the list goes on! High speed assemblies are ideal for a number of different data center deployments,Copper Clad Aluminum such as top of rack (ToR) and middle of row (MoR).

With new products and technologies being introduced at what feels like a daily rate, we thought a quick guide to various high speed assembly terms and acronyms would be useful. Here are some of the most commonly used phrases used when discussing high speed assemblies.

Welcome to the Data Center blog. Recently I gave a webinar on Data Center Trends and one of the topics I covered was the concept of holistic design. I thought I'd make that the feature of my first blog post.
Whether upgrading a Data Center or building one from scratch, Data Center managers typically have two main considerations on their mind—cost and reliability. However, there is a lot more to the puzzle, and it starts with the acceptance of an often overlooked fact: A Data Center built only for the requirements of today can be a Data Center destined to fail in the future.
A Data Center cannot just serve existing needs—it has to meet the projected demands for the future. Unfortunately, upgrades have often been completed with a short-sighted "fix it" mentality where Data Center managers strive to just fill in gaps without a true 360-degree perspective. Cost has often been measured by how much it will take to implement a solution, rather than how much it will take to operate and its total effect on the facility. For example, Data Center managers often narrowly focus on the long-term benefit of a solution (and probably some hype), rather than asking themselves what the new solution will cost to run on a daily basis, if it truly offers a return on investment (ROI), whether ramp-up time is required for employees and how exactly a solution fits within the long-term goals of the business.

A major factor that can influence power usage effectiveness (PUE) in a data center is the type of cooling system deployed and whether or not it includes free cooling.
Free cooling is the ability to leverage existing local ambient conditions to reduce energy usage. There are several latitudes and elevations around the world where data center managers can reduce the use of CRAC units and associated cooling costs by taking advantage of outside environmental conditions. According to reports by HIS, the market for free cooling technologies will grow faster than any other cooling methods over the next four years.Copper Clad Aluminum wire

In previous blogs on DCIM, we looked at strategies for getting buy-in from upper management and some key tips for configuring and implementing the system once you’ve gotten approval to purchase and deploy DCIM.
In this blog, I’ll delve a little deeper into the importance of open standards and integrated cabling infrastructure.

In today’s high-density virtualized data centers, keeping equipment cool is one of the topmost concerns among data center managers. And the problem is two-fold—not only does cooling represent about 30% of operational costs, but not having uninterrupted proper intake temperatures for equipment can result in overheating and failures that lead to even higher operating costs.
Consequently, many data centers oversupply cold air, placing undue financial strain on data center operations as CRAC units require more power to provide more cool air. And despite the oversupply of cold air, many data centers still experience hot spots.

By now, we all understand the term “virtualization” in reference to server environments in the data center, but there are some new “…izations” being thrown around that deserve a closer look.
The terms “standardization,” “modularization” and “industrialization” are some of the recent buzz words being used to describe effective data center design, and often these terms are used interchangeably with little knowledge of what they actually mean and how they work together for effective holistic data center design.
Let’s take a closer look at these three “…izations” of data center design.

Earlier this month, I blogged about the importance of cabinet-level security in the data centerdue to the potential for internal threats.
If you’ve realized the importance of bringing security down to the cabinet level and are planning to deploy a cabinet access control system, there are many features to consider when evaluating solutions.

Big News from Netflix
It’s official: Netflix has acknowledged plans to close its last privately owned data center in the next few months. This decision means the company will be one of the first of its size to rely solely on public cloud storage.
