We'll use this spot as a landing area for all things Hubbell Data Center.

 

Don't forget to check out the BLOG daily; we need your comments. One sure way to improve what we're trying to do is to talk about it. I can talk one-on-one to each of you, but all of us talking together will be even better.

  • Factory-terminated multimode and singlemode fanouts reduce onsite installation time. 
  • Optical fiber is immune to signal tapping. 
  • Reduces cable bulk and improves airflow in plenum spaces, extending equipment life. 
  • Pre-terminated fiber trunk cables available in any length with one or multiple MTP connectors.

MTP Cassettes are Hot

24-fiber MTP LC Cassette
 
As the chart indicates, MTP cassette sales -- like all things Hubbell fiber optic -- have increased dramatically this year. We're likely to increase bookings by 75% over 2007!
 
And we've added another arrow to the quiver -- the 24-fiber ultra high-density LC cassette -- in 10gig 50-micron laser-optimized fiber and in singlemode (as well as 62.5 and regular 50 micron).
 
Our pricing remains very competitive and these things are available now. And most important, we've kept the form factor the same! Twenty-four fibers in the same size box as the 12-fiber! And our cassette was already smaller than Corning or Panduit. The 24-fiber LC cassette fits in all the "six-pack" FSP enclosures.
 
If you've got a Data Center opportunity looking to pack more fibers into a smaller area, show them the new 24-fiber LC cassette.

A Definition of Cloud Computing
 
Posted by John Foley (Infornation Week), September 26, 2008 05:09 PM
 
Oracle CEO Larry Ellison unloaded on cloud computing yesterday, using the words "idiocy," "crap," "gibberish," "crazy," and "stupidest" to describe all the buzz over clouds. It was a classic Ellison rant, but ironic because Oracle is moving into cloud computing even as its leader rails against it.

Ellison's anti-cloud barrage came in a meeting with financial analysts, and Reuters' Jim Finkle provides a recap of it here. "What the hell is cloud computing?" Ellison asked.

An Information Week Report
 
Web-based software, storage, and other services are enticing alternatives to do-it-yourself IT. But different cloud vendors have different strengths.

When people talk about "plugging into the IT cloud," they generally have something very simple in mind--browser access to an application hosted on the Web. Cloud computing is certainly that, but it's also much more. What follows is the longer, more detailed explanation.

Cloud Computing: Like The iPod For Infrastructure
Posted by Thomas Claburn (Information Week),

Cloud computing, said Heimark, is like the iPod in that it makes consuming computing services easy. It's just a form of virtualization, he added. A critical difference, Heimark observed, is that cloud computing costs less than the traditional enterprise software model. "This stuff is truly cheaper," he said.

That means jobs will be eliminated, he added. That explains some of the resistance to cloud computing in some organizations. While there are real issues with cloud computing, particularly in the area of reliability and security, Heimark said he expected those problems would be dealt with within two years.
