In recent years, with the rapid development of the Internet, cloud computing and big data, the increasingly high demand for bandwidth has promoted the construction of IT infrastructure data centers. The current speed standard of 10G Ethernet cannot meet the rapid growth of network traffic demands of large and medium-sized enterprises. From the perspective of resource investment and cost, 25G is th...

Common 40G QSFP+ multi-mode optical modules include SR4 and BIDI, so what is the difference between the two multi-mode optical modules? And how to choose it? ETU-LINK will introduce these two optical modules to you. The package type of QSFP-40G-SR4 is QSFP+, the interface type is MPO, the transmission distance can reach up to 100 meters when used with OM3 patch cords; and the transmission distance...

DAC cable is often used in short-distance cabling schemes in data centers. Compared with other AOC active optical cable and optical module transmission schemes, it has high performance cost ratio , but the short transmission distance is its limitation. If the equipment spacing exceeds the length of direct attach cable, it is necessary to choose AOC active optical cable and optical module scheme. T...

With the application of cloud computing, VR/AR, AI, 5G and other technologies, the bandwidth capacity of the global Internet has become very large. The flat two-layer leaf-spine (Leaf-Spine) architecture used in ultra-large-scale data centers requires a large number of interconnections, because each Leaf is fully interconnected with the spine to maximize non-blocking network connections between sw...

The traditional computing network of data centers is composed of the access layer, the convergence layer and the core layer. However, with the rapid growth of new applications and the amount of data, the requirements on the network architecture are constantly raised. Therefore, a new network topology architecture -- leaf-spine structure is born in the data center. Now, ETU-LINK will introduce the ...
