Why is 64G Fibre Channel the answer to today’s data center storage challenges? How does this protocol work and how is 64G validated in lab or field settings?

In this blog, we focus on the steps required to validate and test 64G Fibre Channel and the EXFO test solutions that help get the job done right

The rapid growth of AI applications requires immense computational power to process large volumes of data at higher and higher speeds.

Join our webinar to explore the vital role technicians play in expanding and maintaining networks across rural, remote and urban areas. We'll address the significant challenges involved in attracting, training and retaining technicians, as well as the challenges posed by high-fiber count demands—an important topic considering the shortage of trained field technicians across the industry.   Our experts will discuss solutions to these challenges, specifically easy-to-use test and inspection solutions that automate test processes. These innovations enable accurate and fast testing with minimal training, ensuring reliable operation of fiber and transport networks. Convenient, automated devices allow even new technicians to work like an experienced professional. Equipping new employees with automated test tools reduces training time and improves overall job efficiency. This approach is crucial to successfully supporting emerging technologies within today’s rapidly evolving networks.   Attendees will learn:  how to identify connectivity challenges faced by today’s operators,  ways to use field automation solutions to help relieve technician and skills shortages,  the benefits of centralized and remote fiber monitoring in speeding up deployments and assuring activation readiness, how centralized and connected portable test equipment maximize quality without increasing headcount, how automation and job management can provide visibility into progress and quality of deployments to ensure all steps have been completed as per operator standards and MOPs.

Webinar presented by DCD. The rise in data consumption, cloud adoption, and new technologies such as generative AI have increased the need for reliable, low-latency networks. In this scenario, fiber optics become crucial for ensuring rapid, efficient, and reliable data communication. But how can we accelerate flawless network construction and ensure optimal interconnectivity? What happens when systems start to lag?
