next few years are critical to building the
networks that will meet the demand.
In anticipation of this need, CommScope,
a leader in communications network
infrastructure solutions, is introducing its
high speed migration platform that assists
data centre managers with building faster,
more agile, high-density migration plans.
Deploying copious amounts of fibre is
a best-case solution. But it’s not always
feasible. The most efficient scenario is to
deploy high density fibre from the get-go to
allow machine-to-machine conversations to
happen fast. A modular, high-speed platform
that can support multiple generations of
equipment is the best option.

FEATURE: DATA CENTRE SOLUTIONS
IDC SEES THE ‘MODERNISATION’ OF
DATA CENTRES AS ONE OF ITS TOP
PREDICTIONS OF 2018.
How is the function of the data
centre sector changing from
mere storage?
Machines can process information nearly as
fast as they receive it. Humans can’t.
In the data centre, in particular, decisions are
made instantaneously, and there needs to
be a strong network backbone for support.
It’s a change from data centres past that
simply acted as storage for data. Now they
are computing, analysing and processing
information, and they need to do it in real
time. IDC sees the ‘modernisation’ of data
centres as one of its top predictions of 2018,
making heavy use of predictive analytics to
increase accuracy and reduce downtime. n
