The Core Network Infrastructure
In today’s hyper-connected world, enterprises are scaling both horizontally (scale out) and vertically (scale up) to support traffic from millions of users and devices. The scale-out approach—expanding the number of servers and interconnects—facilitates a highly modular and high-capacity optical infrastructure to manage growing port counts across racks, rows, and rooms. In contrast, scale-up strategies focus on increasing the processing power within existing hardware, providing high bandwidth per port and inter-device data rates.
Both approaches require robust fiber optic interconnect solutions and sophisticate engineering to reduce data transmission congestion, simplify installation, and maximize the fiber connection capacity.
