EDGE(TM) Mesh Module named Data Center Cabling &
Connectivity Product of the Year
CORNING, N.Y.; MAY29, 2018 - Corning
Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) announced today that its EDGE(TM)
Mesh Module has been named "Data Center Cabling & Connectivity
Product of the Year" at the 2018 Data Center Solutions (DCS)
Awards in London. This is the sixth consecutive year that a
Corning product has won a DCS award.
Corning's EDGE Mesh Modules have emerged as a
critical enabler of future-ready data center networks. They provide
operators of spine-and-leaf network architectures with an easily
adaptable solution that improves deployment speed and network
capability, supports current and future bandwidth requirements, and
reduces total cost of ownership. Also, EDGE Mesh Modules require
significantly less rack space than alternatives and will allow for
higher port densities per switch, with lower power consumption and
lower cost per 10G port.
"It's a great honor to be recognized with a DCS award for the sixth
year in a row because we know our customers count on us to provide
what they need to get ahead," said Kim Hartwell, senior vice
president and chief commercial officer for Corning Optical
Communications. "EDGE(TM) Mesh Modules have proven to be a
highly-efficient solution to our customers' technology challenges,
mitigating much of the complexity associated with installing
spine-and-leaf network architectures."
EDGE Mesh Modules replicate the standard ratio of
1-to-1 spine-and-leaf topology, making deployment faster with
reduced congestion. The Corning solution supports a wide range of
connectivity options, including dedicated LC duplex-based single
ports, parallel optical multi-fiber applications, 400GBase, and
more.
"Each year the DCS Awards finalists represent the
industry's very best. Corning was voted outstanding by our readers
to win the Data Center Cabling & Connectivity Product of the
Year category," said Jason Holloway, director of IT publishing at
Angel Business Communications, organizers of the DCS Awards.
"Along with my technical and commercial
colleagues, we would like to extend our personal thanks to everyone
who voted for Corning," said Tony Robinson, Corning's global
marketing applications manager, Data Centers. "As ever, we've been
humbled by the terrific support from our customers, distributors,
and industry peers."
A range of leading data center cabling
technologies competed for the Data Center Cabling &
Connectivity Product of the Year recognition. Products were
evaluated on their ability to demonstrate a competitive advantage
and a clear return on investment for users.
