Summary
Modern technology applications have rewritten the rules for high-speed networking, including the network’s physical layer infrastructure. The concept of an east-west networking architecture brings about new requirements with which professionals in the cabling and ICT trades must be familiar, and that’s just one of several factors driving change in network design and implementation. This webinar, hosted by Cabling Installation & Maintenance and delivered by CommScope infrastructure systems engineer Tom Epps, takes a comprehensive look at the dynamics of high-speed networking today. It identifies the applications that have become the catalysts for change, and describes the practical implications of what that change means. Attend this webinar to learn about the fiber cabling systems that will enable current and future-generation data center networks, along with the best options for campus backbones, and solutions for building backbone and horizontal connectivity. Join this discussion that will take us from 800G to Category 6A and everywhere in between.
