Efficient space utilization in Data Centers: FCA portfolio solutions in the CK STOS Project

In the dynamic world of technology, data centers play a crucial role in ensuring network reliability and performance. With the increasing demand for data storage and processing, effective space utilization in data centers has become a key challenge for many operators. In this article, we will explore two solutions from our business partner, Huber+Suhner – CDR cabinets and their accessories – the SYLFA HD system.

CDR Cabinet: Easy Optical Network Management

The CDR cabinet is a leading fiber optic connectivity solution from Huber+Suhner, designed to facilitate convenient and efficient cable management within data centers. One of the primary advantages of the CDR ODF (Optical Distribution Frame) is its exceptional flexibility for future infrastructure expansion. This cabinet allows for the organization and protection of optical cables in a way that can adapt to changing user needs and requirements. With specially designed sections and organizers, it is easy to customize the cabinet to handle high-capacity networks while providing easy access to cabling and connections, greatly simplifying maintenance and issue resolution.

Another key benefit is the outstanding durability and reliability of the CDR ODF. Thanks to high-quality materials and a robust construction, this cabinet can operate under varying conditions, ensuring a long lifespan for optical infrastructure. This translates to reduced operational costs and the assurance that the network will function reliably for many years.

Cable Management System in the Cabinet – SYLFA HD: Organized Infrastructure

Eliminating cable chaos is another challenge that affects efficient space utilization in data centers. Huber+Suhner’s SYLFA HD is an advanced fiber management system that provides organized and easily accessible infrastructure. The standout feature of SYLFA HD is its full front access, allowing for easy and convenient access to fiber cables without the need to move modules. This solution simplifies cable management and maintenance, making it more efficient.

Moreover, SYLFA HD minimizes the space occupied by cabling and prevents tangled cables. This not only improves aesthetics but also facilitates troubleshooting in case of failures. FCA with Huber+Suhner Solutions for CK STOS Proof of the quality and functionality of Huber+Suhner solutions can be found in the CK STOS project, in which we participated. In this project, our company provided CDR cabinets and the SYLFA HD system as their equipment. Through collaboration with Huber+Suhner, we effectively optimized the space in the CK STOS IT facility, resulting in improved performance and efficiency.

Data Center Space Matters

Due to the rapidly growing demand for cloud-based data, data centers strive to use physical space as efficiently as possible, leaving room for future expansion. Optimizing space utilization allows data centers to accommodate more servers and equipment in a limited area, maximizing their operational capabilities. Scalability and flexibility are crucial for swiftly adapting to evolving business needs.
