1 Billions of arithmetic operations per second what s their value without cabling? WorldHostingDays 2014, Rust, April, 02 nd

2 01 Trends in data centers General topics IT cabling infrastructure Billions of calculations per second what s their value without cable?

3 01 Trends in data centers General topics 3 pillars of utility infrastructures in data centers power supply air conditioning data availability and access IT cabling energy supply essential elements cooling security IT cabling solution In view to environmental and economic aspects the first two topics were addressed in detail - Green IT, Energy Efficiency but the IT cabling???

4 01 Trends in data centers General topics IT cabling infrastructure Cables are the access to the world for the data - it is the data s route to be made available from the outside and they are - and they need to be - everywhere in the data center

5 01 Trends in data centers General topics IT cabling infrastructure If we did not have cabling for secure transmission of data. - no ATM machine without contact to the data center - no electronic cash payments - no online banking - no deals at the stock exchange - no internet availability and that related to the latest big issues:

6 01 Trends in data centers General topics Technology Cloud computing and Big Data and to guarantee all that on a 7x24 base a lot of considerations have to be carried out based on hardware and applications.... thus the cabling infrastrucure will be more important as well: The applications are being run on servers somewhere. The access needs to be optimal. not sexy, but mandatory!

7 01 Trends in data centers General topics IT infrastructure high-speed Fibre Channel applications: 8 GB FC, 16 GB FC, 32 GB FC parallel optics applications: InfiniBand, 40 GBE, 100 GBE to be adjusted with cabling design essential criterion of design for the IT environment no stand-alone topic or subject that can be handled after the population of the data center, synchronization with the hardware population challenging length restrictions

8 02 Planning of cabling infrastructures Loss budget e.g. Fibre Channel Applications Loss budget CIL [db] Length restrictions [m] 4 GB FC 4 GB FC 8 GB FC 8 GB FC 16 GB FC 0 0,5 1 1,5 2 2,5 3 3,5 16 GB FC OM4 OM3 according toen :2007/FprAB:2010

9 02 Planning of cabling infrastructures Connectivity Parallel optics: Infiniband 40/100 GBE Standard data center cabling: Fiber Channel Ethernet

10 02 Planning of cabling infrastructures Quality of interconnect insertion loss surface of ferrule ZONE SPECIFICATION SCRATCHES DEFECTS A: core 0-65 µm B: cladding µm PURE MM No scratches > 2 µm No defects permitted IEC MM No scratches > 3 µm Up to 4 defects < 5 µm PURE MM No scratches > 3 µm Up to 5 defects < 3 µm IEC MM No scratches > 5 µm Up to 5 defects < 5 µm

11 02 Planning of cabling infrastructures Tidiness - Cleaning of ferrule surface and fiber tip cleaning - a well-known topic in fiber optics since the very beginning of that technology up to applications like 2GBit FC: no strong impact on the performance since the introduction of 4 Gbit FC: cleaning is a mandatory demand! Cleaning instruction, 2003

12 03 New developments in fiber optic technology What will the future development be in fiber optic technology? The idea/dream of the all-optical computer comes closer.

13 03 New developments in fiber optic technology Today: copper circuit paths on the printed circuit boards

14 03 New developments in fiber optic technology Products for different applications

15 06 New developments in fiber optic technology Summary This development will maybe not change our way of life but it will be a revolution for the data center cabling. A challenging perspective for manufacturers and data center operators. And to answer the initial question: The calculations are not worth anything without cabling!
