2022: Green Is the Color of Data Centers
Data center operators and vendors will increasingly pursue strategies that can deliver real impact in addressing the climate crisis. Lithium-battery recycling infrastructure is expected to expand in 2022, removing one of the few remaining barriers to the widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries in data centers.

Large-scale 5G deployment is imperative—which industries will benefit?
When will 5G networks be launched? Wang Zhiqin, Deputy Director of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, told a reporter from Economic Reference News that many countries and regions are currently placing great emphasis on the commercial rollout of 5G. The United States, the European Union, South Korea, Japan, and China all plan to begin deploying 5G networks for commercial use in the second half of 2019, with full-scale commercial service slated for 2020. With the release of international 5G standards, competition in the global 5G industry is set to intensify. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the three major telecom operators, China’s 5G commercialization is progressing in an orderly manner. Technical R&D trials have now officially entered their third phase, and it is expected that by the end of 2018 the key links in the 5G industrial chain will largely reach pre-commercial readiness. Plans are in place to commence 5G network construction in 2019 and launch full-scale commercial 5G services in 2020.

Is now the right time to modernize data centers?
As businesses continue to grow and evolve, many organizations are exploring the modernization of their data centers—or at least considering the modernization options available—while also evaluating other upgrade initiatives. A growing number of enterprises are preparing for data center modernization, often referred to as digital transformation, particularly in an ever-changing work environment. Data center modernization is continually advancing to meet emerging customer needs and enhance organizational competitiveness.

The Relationship Between Fiber-Optic Communication and 5G
When we use wireless networks to chat, work, watch movies, or play games, we may not realize that the various wireless nodes are actually interconnected via an extensive fiber-optic communication network. Today, as 4G and 5G network radio access points continue to expand, ever-increasing amounts of fiber optic cable are required to meet the growing demands of these networks.

Data Center Remote Centralized Solution
Traditional management approaches can no longer meet the demands of today’s highly centralized IDC operations. With a vast number of cables arranged in complex patterns, decentralized management leads to low efficiency; moreover, distance constraints between the control room and the server rooms make on-site support difficult. At the same time, inadequate physical security at the IDC, combined with frequent entries and exits to the server rooms, means that senior technical staff at the data center management center are often away on business trips or during holidays… resulting in service interruptions—providing opportunities for hackers—and potentially leading to the destruction of the data center’s core resources.

The propagation of electromagnetic waves in optical fibers is governed by the behavior of a dielectric cylindrical waveguide. When light undergoes total internal reflection at the interface between two media, the electromagnetic wave is confined within the dielectric medium, a phenomenon known as guided wave or guided mode. For a given guided wave and operating wavelength, multiple incident conditions can satisfy the condition for total internal reflection; these correspond to the different modes of the guided wave. Based on the number of propagating modes, optical fibers are classified as multimode fibers and single-mode fibers. Multimode fibers can support several propagating modes, whereas single-mode fibers can support only a single mode at a specified operating wavelength.
