Belden's New Data Center Resources

A recent study found IT decision-makers are planning large data center rollouts. From the study, 1 out of 3 large firms surveyed plan to expand this year and 83% plan to expand in the next 12 to 24 months. As existing data centers are expanding and those that aren’t expanding become more dense, it’s important to understand the factors that influence how your center is operating:

• power
• density
• cooling

From Belden:

Belden demonstrates this understanding with the launch of their new data center page. This interactive resource is packed with valuable information for the novice and expert alike. By clicking on the various sections of the data center, the user is given a brief description of its operational role with the relevant Belden part numbers and specs included out to the right. Specs are included for both copper systems and optical fiber systems as well as any enclosures or cable management you may need. Really a powerful tool.

There’s a ton of information packed into this interactive graphic, but not too much to become overwhelming. Areas featured include:

• Entrance Room
• Telecommunications Room (TR)
• Main Distribution Area (MDA) & Horizontal Distribution Area (HDA)
• Equipment Distribution Area (EDA)
• Storage Area Network (SAN)
• Backbone Cabling
• Horizontal Cabling
• Support Offices and Open Areas
