Viavi Solutions has announced that it will be showcasing its data centre test suite and diverse test solutions that covers all aspects and phases of data centre construction, activation and monitoring at the Data Centre Conclave 2024.

Data centres have become the epicentre of digital world, and continue to grow in size and complexity. The data centre industry in India is advancing rapidly and primarily fuelled by technological advancements, evolving business landscapes, and shifting consumer expectations. Government’s thrust on data localisation, privacy and security and technologies like; 5G, internet of thing (IoT), cloud, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are propelling its growth. The data centre conclave 2024 aims to bring together industry thought leaders, solution providers, equipment manufacturers, experts, and ecosystem players to unveil pioneering trends, display the latest in technology and demonstrate solutions for the hyperscale ecosystem.

Commenting on the announcement, Monojit Samaddar, country director, VIAVI said, “India’s data centre industry is experiencing significant growth due to accelerated digital data traffic and country’s expanding digital infrastructure. The exponential data growth is pushing data centres to be closer to their customers, resulting in more edge deployments, while also forcing data centre operators to increase speed, security, and efficiency at the same time as they minimise latency. Hyperscale data centres and the cutting-edge technologies accompanying them, are turning these unprecedented challenges into opportunities.”

Further, Maonjit added, “At the data centre conclave this year, VIAVI will showcase test solutions that provide multi-dimensional visibility, intelligence and insight needed to efficiently manage physical and virtual environments, in order to profitably deliver optimum service levels, transition to new technologies and launch innovative services.”

With an unmatched breadth and depth of interoperable test products and expertise – from traditional test and measurement tools to test process automation and cloud-based management solutions, VIAVI is helping operators and providers get the most from the hyperscale ecosystem. VIAVI test solutions optimizse optical hardware, fibre and network performance over the lifecycle of the hyperscale data centre, from lab to turn-up to monitoring.

At the data centre conclave, VIAVI will demonstrate its industry-leading portfolio of lab to live test and optimisation solutions engineered to simplify and accelerate pace of data centre deployments.

The key highlights include:

  • Construction of the data centre: From optical loss test set for multi-fibre push on (MPO) testing to handheld test tools, VIAVI’s fully integrated and interoperable solutions help customers validate and speed up network construction, installation, and maintenance. A wide range of fibre inspection tools will be showcased at the data centre conclave, including the recently launched INX 760 Probe Microscope.
  • Process automation: VIAVI test process automation (TPA) connects teams and their test instruments together, ensuring repeatability, efficiency, and accuracy at every stage.
  • Visibility, monitoring and certification: VIAVI’s comprehensive portfolio, including FiberComplete pro for bi-directional fibre testing and essential fiber optic testers – MPOLx, FiberChek sidewinder, P5000i fibre microscope and SmartClass fibre optical loss test set (OLTS) along with modular network test platform – MTS5800-100G for metro/core, mobile backhaul and 400G transport module will be on display.

Additionally, Celio Teramae, product line manager, VIAVI will deliver a presentation on “Best practices for high-speed fibre network test and measurement in data centres”. The presentation will cover the most common challenges in high-speed fibre network turn-up and maintenance in data centres, including 400G ZR+ optics and MPO connector/cabling testing, to ensure delivery of best quality services.

As data processing becomes distributed and abstracted across hybrid environments, internet content providers (ICPs), need to ensure performance across the whole ecosystem. Data centre monitoring and orchestration tools are now increasingly agile, automated, and virtual to support the needs of data centre infrastructure. Rigorous test and validation help ICPs manage change and speed network buildouts.
