Increasing data center construction: a major market driver
Increasing data center construction is one of the major factors driving the global optical switches market. Optical networking is the core of storage area networking and business connectivity solutions. Traditionally, data centers used network resources and technologies that were available to them. However, wide-scale investments in data centers are increasing the need for new optical modules to meet the demand for high bandwidth, low power consumption, and a broader reach. Therefore, with the growth in data traffic and emergence of cloud in data centers and applications, data center operators are relying on new age technologies, such as fiber optics networks.
According to a senior analyst at Technavio for IT hardware research, “Data centers owned by Google, Facebook, and Microsoft are equipped with energy-efficient and high-performance storage infrastructure. Fiber optics network hardware is a crucial element of these data centers. For instance, Google’s data center located in Council Bluffs, Iowa, has a fiber optic network connecting Google’s websites. It can run at a speed that is 2,00,000 times faster than the typical US home Internet.”
