Data Center Technology & Insights

Data-center infrastructure is increasingly a system problem rather than a collection of independent components. AI clusters increase not only accelerator demand but also power, storage, internal interconnect and thermal loads. This changes the way engineers evaluate a platform: a decision that looks small at component level can affect signal margin, airflow, serviceability and qualification effort elsewhere. European…

Data-center infrastructure is increasingly a system problem rather than a collection of independent components. Rack power density is rising and heat is concentrated into smaller physical volumes. This changes the way engineers evaluate a platform: a decision that looks small at component level can affect signal margin, airflow, serviceability and qualification effort elsewhere. Air cooling remains effective in many…

Data-center infrastructure is increasingly a system problem rather than a collection of independent components. PCIe Gen5 increases channel sensitivity to insertion loss, connector transitions, PCB routing and cable length. This changes the way engineers evaluate a platform: a decision that looks small at component level can affect signal margin, airflow, serviceability and qualification effort elsewhere. Compact…

Data-center infrastructure is increasingly a system problem rather than a collection of independent components. OCP promotes open, efficient and serviceable infrastructure concepts across racks, power, cooling and hardware interfaces. This changes the way engineers evaluate a platform: a decision that looks small at component level can affect signal margin, airflow, serviceability and qualification effort elsewhere. Open…

Data-center infrastructure is increasingly a system problem rather than a collection of independent components. EDSFF is primarily a family of enterprise storage form factors and interfaces designed for density, serviceability and thermal management. This changes the way engineers evaluate a platform: a decision that looks small at component level can affect signal margin, airflow, serviceability and qualification effort…

Data-center infrastructure is increasingly a system problem rather than a collection of independent components. Copper is simple, mature and cost-effective for short electrical channels when loss remains manageable. This changes the way engineers evaluate a platform: a decision that looks small at component level can affect signal margin, airflow, serviceability and qualification effort elsewhere. As bandwidth and distance…

Data-center infrastructure is increasingly a system problem rather than a collection of independent components. A redriver is an analog signal-conditioning device that applies gain and equalization to compensate for channel loss. This changes the way engineers evaluate a platform: a decision that looks small at component level can affect signal margin, airflow, serviceability and qualification effort elsewhere. A retimer…
