Data Center Dark Fiber Capacity
Data Center Hosting and Dark Fiber
Hospitals and healthcare organizations often opt for an off-site data
center, not only to upgrade their processing facilities that run clinical systems, but to make better use of capital that would have been invested in an on-site data center. When hospitals choose data center hosting, they expect benefits that improve the quality, security and speed of the data they entrust to the data center.
Ensure consistent data speed
CareTech Solutions ensures consistent data speed by utilizing its own dark fiber that runs between the company’s two data centers in Troy, Michigan.
Dark fiber consists of 96 strands of glass known as “single-mode” fiber between the two CareTech data centers.
- Strands of glass operate in pairs called “full-duplex mode”
- Each pair has the capacity to move up to 40 gigabytes of data per second
- CareTech can move close to 1.875 terabytes of data per second
How much is that in “real world” numbers? The U.S. Library of Congress
is the largest library in the world, with 145 million items on 745 miles of bookshelves. Estimates say this data would fit into one petabyte
(or 1,000 terabytes) of storage. CareTech could move the entire contents of the library from one data center to the other in less than 9 minutes.
Rely on high availability of critical hospital applications
Using dark fiber, CareTech Solutions has the means to provide high availability of critical applications for hospital clients between its data centers.
