Data Center Interconnect (DCI) has introduced a drastic change in the network scenario as it has introduced hyper scale Data Centers to fulfill the market demand for memory, bandwidth, compute capabilities, storage and speed. In this rapidly changing environment, the value of DCI throughput testing, network monitoring, remote fiber monitoring, and automated MPO connector testing are unquestionable.
Data Center operators have to test and certify fiber optic cables carrying high speed traffic and assemblies for maintaining integrity and serviceability. The network connections at different layer levels of ISO/OSI layers need to be tested and certified so that the Data Center is operated at optimum efficiency. The Network application monitoring would include security monitoring such as checking for fiber tapping, sending network health reports through email etc., SLA management etc. We need to carry out bandwidth testing from 1G to 100G and encrypted testing also.
