VISION SEES UNIVERSAL
TRANSCEIVERS LAY THE
FOUNDATIONS FOR 400G
As global data traffic increases with the rising number of
connected devices, data centres are facing growing challenges
regarding demand for cloud access, processing capability, storage
and transport bandwidth. Matt Pincus, Managing Director for
EMEA and India at AddOn Networks, offers his advice for how
businesses can improve their approach to operate more efficiently.
Predictions for the year see the 400G
market fast approaching after being
in the pipeline for years. With the
new decade, it is expected that this nextgeneration
technology will finally come into
fruition, bringing with it higher demands
for data storage and bandwidth. With data
centres reportedly undergoing infrastructure
upgrades every two years, now is the time
to move on from 100G to technologies with
heightened capabilities in order to be ready
for the future.
Subsequently, the urgency for Digital
Transformation within organisations will also
increase. The deployment of technologies
and components which facilitate the
successful overhaul of organisational
networks into the digital age is likely to be
of vital concern to many companies, as
this manoeuvre can be a costly risk. Around
70% of Digital Transformations fail, making
the pressures between keeping up with
consumer demand and the narrow success
margin that must be met to survive in the
competitive nature of the industry, a harsh
reality for organisations of all sizes.
