Monitoring Experience of Modern IT Infrastructures

Large data center operators, including the biggest cloud service providers (SPs), have invested significant time and effort to optimize and run their data centers efficiently at scale. While some large cloud SPs keep their data center designs confidential, others—like Facebook and Microsoft—share their best practices openly through initiatives such as the Open Compute Project (OCP). OCP technologies are gaining broader adoption. For example, one-third of all servers shipped in 2020 were based on an OCP specification. Many of those will be located at the edge as latency increasingly becomes a performance determinant for workloads like content delivery, connected device management and AI.

Data centers are an essential part of the modern economy. From banking to telecoms to gaming, data centers are vital for most industries. But there’s a problem. For a data center to make sense, it must be continuously improved in terms of economics, performance, efficiency, and flexibility. As the world becomes increasingly reliant on a digital economy, data centers must innovate to meet the needs of tomorrow.

Real Wireless, the independent wireless experts, recently undertook a research project to identify use cases for 5G private network deployments and assess the impact of improved spectral efficiency in these scenarios. The research shows that there are considerable benefits in performance and infrastructure cost reduction, across a range of private and public network use cases from using AccelerComm’s 5G physical layer IP solution - including cost reductions of up to a third.

IT organizations have grown accustomed to traditional IT infrastructure and virtualization technology that requires care, feeding and large budgets. Sadly, this keeps them focused on the speeds and feeds and not on what matters most – business outcomes and customer experiences. Join us to hear how Faisal Jawaid, IT Manager at TELUS Spark, a leading science museum in Calgary, CA, rose above the daily grind of managing complex infrastructure and mundane maintenance tasks.
