CommScope introduced Propel, a high-speed fibre platform designed to help data centre managers respond to the exponential increase in demand they are experiencing for computing power. This new technology facilitates the migration to Terabit speeds, by providing reliable connectivity and a robust network infrastructure that aligns with rapidly emerging data centre applications, enabling faster, more efficient access to data.
Workers, students, nurses, businesses, local communities, and government agencies have all switched to cloud computing, streaming services, and AI applications, causing data centre demand to skyrocket. The industry is continuing to develop new data centres and invest in ways to drastically boost data centre capacity in response to a rise in economic life online.
“Over the past few years, we have witnessed extraordinary technical advances and a rise in computing devices that connect to the real world. Data centres are key assets in the data-driven economy and it’s critical that the industry pay attention to energy usage and space requirements as we move toward terabit speeds,” said John Schmidt, senior vice president, CommScope’s building and data centre business. “CommScope’s Propel solution was engineered to ensure data centre operators can maximise existing infrastructure investments while preparing for future applications in a smarter and more efficient manner.”
Next Evolution of Data Centre Connectivity
The network's modernisation is made easier by Propel. Propel has introduced 16-fibre cabling to serve the fast-growing 400 Gbps and 800 Gbps bandwidths, as well as the developing 1.6 Tbps bandwidth. Leading-edge network architectures can now deliver more capacity to end devices with more efficiency, saving time and energy while simultaneously lowering the cost per gigabit.
Propel modules are offered in four interchangeable sizes with corresponding cable constructions to scale applications with system architectures. All components are ultra-low loss for best performance and have a unique QR code for tracking performance and online instructions.
