Panduit: Switch to server solutions

Presently, a rapid evolution towards fiber-based switch to server interconnect for lane rates at or above 50G is occurring in larger data centers (displacing copper-based solutions). The latest fiber cabling solutions present flexibility across Cloud, multitenant and enterprise data centers and meet their unique needs, leading to reduced footprint and operational cost savings over present modes of operation. This tech showcase will explore:

• How recent advances in optical modules and fiber cabling facilitate server row/pod architecture changes that help meet sustainability goals for 2030 and beyond
• Break-out structured cabling solutions as a facilitator to enable your data center to scale and to meet the requirements of high-speed fiber interconnect to the server

Tate: The critical role of structural ceilings in data centers

As the data center evolves, so do the loads of the critical infrastructure suspended from the structural ceilings. Tate’s Structural ceilings solutions have been specifically engineered to act as a high strength platform for the suspension of heavy loads and safety training is provided to all key stakeholders who utilise the platform provided by the structural ceiling. This tech showcase will explore:

• The critical role of the structural ceiling & the utilities which are suspended from ceilings
• How Tate validates suspended loads from their structural ceilings solutions
• The importance of safety training in suspended ceilings, and how to educate all key stakeholders
