Insights on Limiting Latency for Enterprise and Edge Data Center Infrastructure Integra Optics 02.27.23 Demand for decreased network latency has always been a challenge for data center managers, and the hastening pace of technological advancements has only increased the severity of that challenge. People have grown accustomed to the immersive, cutting-edge experiences provided by Big Data, the Internet of Things, cloud and streaming services and other tech achievements. And irrespective of time or location, disruptions to these newfound experiences have become virtually intolerable. Thriving in this new technological frontier requires the establishment of highly reliable and cost-effective enterprise and edge data centers capable of delivering what people want anytime, anywhere. Reducing latency, expanding the cloud, and pushing more and more data out to the network edge is putting more and more pressure on providers’ optical networks. Hence, the most competitive and successful companies are collaborating with best-in-class optical solutions providers capable of extending the value of their existing network and reliably maintaining uptime with: 🗝️ Innovative Network Solutions 🗝️ Product Reliability 🗝️ Technical Expertise 🗝️ Personalized Customer Service Innovative Network Solutions Their solutions should feature cutting edge technologies that capitalize on speed and flexibility, such as Integra’s suite of Smart Coder products. These powerful devices give network engineers and field techs the power to quickly reconfigure transceivers for any network hardware. Product Reliability Rigorous product quality control along with 100% interoperability ought to support their uncompromising commitment to reliability. Because if products aren’t interoperable and delivered correctly coded and tested 100% of the time, then your data center suffers. Additionally, lack of quick access to the right components can be the difference in making or breaking your networks’ performance, especially during times of crushing supply chain shortages. Your idealprovider will leverage industry leading optics solutions and a product availability model to save your time and money as a true channel partner. Technical Expertise An ideal network solutions provider guarantees access to a team of seasoned data center experts and engineers that understand the challenges associated with increased demand to reliably scale bandwidth, reduce power consumption and extend reach, all while future-proofing your investment. Personalized Customer Service Their engineers must work hand in hand with you to provide product qualification reports, case studies with other data center customer implementations, test products and support to verify interoperability and reliability. This personalized support will speed up testing and ensure confidence in their products while minimizing your resource constraints. Demand for decreased network latency has reached feverish heights, and it’s only going to continue to increase with time; however, optimizing your enterprise and edge data centers to deliver uninterrupted experiences to your customers becomes much simpler once you know what to look for in a network solutions provider. The most competitive and successful companies are already profiting from these insights, so why aren’t you?
