Project Description

This article takes a look at how recent data center trends and the impact of COVID-19 are fueling the need for high-speed, low-latency connections and fast, flexible and cost-effective data center expansion. It examines why and how enterprise business is shifting to more privately hosted IT workloads via hyperconverged techniques and why this approach requires structured cabling.

While data center growth was already expected to continue increasing over the next decade, the COVID-19 pandemic is now changing the way people live and work and the way the world does business, further driving data center expansion. Data centers are needing to quickly add more capacity to support remote IT capabilities, enhanced e-commerce, increased video streaming and gaming, and a greater need for applications like telemedicine, distance learning and online collaboration. And they’re focusing heavily on connectivity to do so.
