The specialist magazine CONNECTIONS No. 65 from R&M shows how the consequences of digitalization are increasingly impacting the infrastructures of data centers.
R&M is taking data center providers on a journey through time. In the latest issue of the R&M specialist magazine CONNECTIONS, they can learn a lot about the near future of their computer rooms. The cover story describes how digitalization projects are increasingly impacting the entire infrastructure of data centers. Carsten Ludwig, R&M Market Manager Data Center, reveals little-noticed interactions between the compute and non-compute worlds.
CTO Robert Merki focuses on a crucial aspect: the energy-intensive cooling of data centers. He talks about the pros and cons of liquid cooling systems. In addition, numerous product managers present new solutions and describe, among other things, how data centers can maintain control of the vital signs of computer rooms, compress cabling even further and implement modular housing systems.
New potential for the LAN
In addition to the focus on data centers, current technological issues surrounding local data networks are discussed. Matthias Gerber, Market Manager LAN Cabling, provides information about hidden risk factors when using Power over Ethernet (PoE). He explains how transmission distances in the LAN can be extended with the Single Pair Ethernet system from R&M. He also reveals how building networks can reach new speed dimensions with Cat. 8.1 technology.
R&M is continuously working on other solutions and programs to make a considerable contribution to the economical use of raw materials in line with the company’s sustainability goals. Environment-friendly, multifunctional packaging is currently being developed, for example, and is another subject addressed in the latest specialist magazine CONNECTIONS No. 65. The magazine is available either as a print or a digital version.
