Businesses need to provide anadequate and reliable infrastructure for IT in order toavoid disruptions in work and productivity.Many large data center and carrier hotels are oftenmet with the distance limitation of copper cablingwithin their facilities. Adding Transition Networks’copper to fiber products to your data center willallow you to maintain a physical layer, transparent,pass-through connection between the customer’scage and the Meet-Me-Room (MMR). The use ofmedia conversion gives the customer and carrier thereassurance that the data is NOT passing through aswitched network. This guarantees that the customerwill have no added latency, jitter, packet inspections,or potential traffic sniffing.• Central chassis for remote management and fault detection• Configure via dip switches or management module• Transparently pass customer traffic including VLANs• Alarms and traps for quick fault detection• Plug-n-Play installation• Auto Cross• Automatic Link RestorationCloud AssuranceData Center Virtualization Reduces IT ExpenWhether utilizing a private cloud infrastructureor the public cloud, countless enterprise datacenter managers are utilizing cloud computingto off-load the expense and infrastructure drainassociated with internally housing and storingcritical business applications on their own servers.Data center managers that are utilizing virtualizeddatacenters to deliver their IT services are realizingthe tremendous cost savings associated withmoving to the cloud, including: decreased coolingcosts, power consumption, hardware investment,server maintenance and the ability to only pay forwhat storage or service is being used. But movingapplications to the cloud does not mean that datacenter managers no longer need to be concernedabout delivering that service or data stream.Data center managers still need to have processesand plans in place to address the reliability andresiliency of their cloud network, like: networkgrowth strategies, data security measures, datarecovery and redundancy strategies as well asassurance that they are getting the full extent ofthe cloud services they are paying for. Networkinterface devices from Transition Networks providedata center managers with visibility to the entirecloud – from their network, across the WAN, totheir cage within the cloud provider’s datacenter.
