A comprehensive and discussion-provoking panel conversation, involving about the following decisions to consider when it comes to the importance of design and installation of fiber optic infrastructures and the equipment they support within a data center environment.

·       Bulletproof Fiber redundancy– Center Row, or End row, DC layouts? -what is best design for fiber infrastructure to maintain connectivity-always.

·       In Rack or Above Rack Connectivity, what is right?

·       Single mode vs. Multimode Fiber–discussing the differences and what is the best bang for your buck?

·       Splice or not to Splice? -the good and bad of pulling large fiber counts to designated splice points create a zone connectivity rather than pulling fiber to every rack or every row.

Audience Takeaway:

·       Panel of real-world expertise and lessons learned by data center infrastructure subject matter experts.  

·       Discussion on each subject and the importance of each within a data center environment.

·       Thought provoking options on the efficiencies of legacy, current and trending solutions for each subject. 

·       This specialized discussion around the fiber infrastructure of data centers will provoke a high level of audience participation and involvement, which will make this presentation very interactive.
