  • The Future of Internet Data Centers

    The Future of Internet Data Centers

    In 2026, data center management is undergoing a major shift driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI), automation, and sustainability. As argued in the Brookings Press book, “Turning Point: Policymaking in the Era of Artificial Intelligence,” it is powering applications in finance, health care, education, transportation, defense, and e-commerce, among other sectors. Organizations are now focusing on smarter, faster, and greener data centers to meet increasing demand. The global data center sector will likely expand at a 14% CAGR through 2030, which will require energy innovations to alleviate grid constraints. Hyperscalers will remain a key driver of sector growth. The race for speed: Data center projects are being delivered faster than ever, with modular construction and digital innovation transforming timelines and efficiency.

  • Should data centers use PoE switches or dedicated switches

    Should data centers use PoE switches or dedicated switches

    In data centers, non-PoE devices provide better signal integrity for 40G/100G networks, ensuring smooth data transmission. Today, more and more PoE for IP cameras, access points, and IoT devices is terminated directly in data centers and MDF rooms, on high-density switches and in tightly packed racks. Why. PoE is a technology that enables Ethernet cables to deliver both electrical power and data to connected devices. Selecting between these two options can significantly impact your organization's performance, cost-efficiency, and scalability. As demand for faster, more efficient, and cost-effective operations grows, the use of Power over Ethernet (PoE) for data centers is a transformative technology that. While both serve the same basic function of connecting network devices, a PoE switch offers built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities that can significantly simplify deployment and reduce costs in certain scenarios.
