  1. Archived Webinar: Best Practices for Migrating to a Structured Cabling Solution

    August 2, 2012 by Teri Kelly

    As demands for increased throughput and higher speeds continue to grow, the data center infrastructure must be flexible enough to change with those demands. According to the Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers, or TIA-942, a structured cabling system is the ideal way to future-proof your data center. In this archived webinar, Senior Data Center Architect for CABLExpress Rick Dallmann provides the roadmap for building a structured cabling system.

    In “Best Practices for Migrating to a Structured Cabling Solution,” you will learn:

    • Key concepts of TIA-942
    • Why data centers are migrating to a structured cabling solution
    • Changes to the physical layer of the data center that take place during migration
    • How to sell a structured cabling solution to organizational leadership
    • Tips and best practices to consider while migrating to a structured cabling solution

    Presented by Rick Dallmann, Senior Data Center Architect, CABLExpress

  3. Upcoming Webinar: Increasing Data Center Performance Through Effective dB Loss Management

    June 5, 2012 by Teri Kelly

    As speed and throughput demands increase in the data center, your fiber optic cabling infrastructure must be able to perform up to standard. Part of your fiber optic cable performance includes effectively managing dB loss and loss budgets. It is important to know how much data you can afford to lose without sacrificing performance. During our webinar on June 28, we’ll explore dB loss and loss budgets.

    In “Increasing Data Center Performance Through Effective dB Loss Management,” you will learn:

    • What is dB loss and how does it relate to loss budgets?
    • How does dB loss affect your data center fiber optic infrastructure?
    • What are best practices in managing dB loss?
    • How are new standards and technologies affecting loss budgets?

    Title: Increasing Data Center Performance Through Effective dB Loss Management
    Presented by: Kent Goldsmith, Engineering Manager, CABLExpress

  5. Upcoming Webinar: Taking Your Network to 40/100G Ethernet

    May 1, 2012 by Teri Kelly

    With the ratification of new industry standards and increased demands on data center throughput, 40/100G Ethernet will be an integral component of the next generation data center.

    In fact, it is already an emerging influence on how organizations plan, build and operate their existing data center architecture. The market proves this: manufacturers are already responding to the increased demand for Ethernet hardware, including cabling products, switches and transceivers.

    In “Taking Your Network to 40/100G Ethernet,” you will learn:

    • Why this shift to 40 and 100G Ethernet is happening
    • The factors you need to consider when planning your cabling infrastructure
    • Best practices for migrating to 40 and 100G Ethernet
    • Next steps for data centers
