Network infrastructure investments being prioritized

There could be a major connection between cloud computing and network infrastructure upgrades, as many experts agree that cloud computing puts a major strain on the network.

Cloud computing and the data center network
Cloud computing is built around delivering data and applications to end users through the web. As companies invest in public cloud solutions, this means they often need to upgrade their WAN infrastructure. However, the private cloud creates an entirely different dynamic, as its dependence on virtualization and east-west data center traffic creates major bandwidth challenges in the corporate data center. In many cases, companies depending heavily on internal cloud systems need fiber-optic cabling solutions in the data center backhaul network, and sometimes for storage. Furthermore, the WAN upgrades needed can lead to dependence on MAN infrastructure for some companies. In either of these scenarios, fiber to Ethernet media converters are integral to supporting network demands created by the cloud.

Perle has an extensive range of Managed and Unmanaged Fiber Media Converters to extended copper-based Ethernet equipment over a fiber optic link, multimode to multimode and multimode to single mode fiber up to 160km.
