Distributed Cloud Computing and its Impact on the Cabling Infrastructure within a Data Center
Applications such as high-frequency trading, high-performance computing, AI, and gaming are compute intensive and latency sensitive. To process these workloads in the most optimized way, data center operators must move a significant portion of their computational load towards the edge of the network closer to the source of the data. This decentralizing of the cloud creates challenges for data center operators looking for ways to grow the computational power within their data center to meet the demands of these emerging applications. This white paper will cover the various applications driving the shift towards edge computing, and how this impacts the cabling infrastructure in environments that are highly space constrained.
