State-of-the-art fiber optics management solutions
Designed for maximum uptime, reliability and connectivity performance
Establishing the foundation for further growth and expansion
Soaring data demands are placing more pressure than ever before on data centers to be high-performing, space optimising and scalable. Stellium Data Centers owns and operates the largest data center campus in the UK, that is independent of network providers and designed for maximum uptime and security. The company needed a resilient fiber management solution that incorporates the flexibility to meet future growth and expansion, while supporting 5G and offering the best connectivity both regionally and internationally.
“HUBER+SUHNER has been an early supplier of optical fiber equipment to Stellium including key termination equipment for our Metro Network. This investment has stood the test of time and continues to be a key part of our infrastructure.”
Gerry Murray, Chief Commercial Officer at Stellium Data Centers
Doing more in less space
Despite the challenge to predict future connectivity demands, the ability to grow is key for Stellium. The company needs to not only drive operations today but prepare to meet future demands too. Stellium also desired a solution that could be installed as soon as possible to avoid any operational disruptions. HUBER+SUHNER’s response was to deploy the LISA optical fiber solution, designed for data center operators who demand quick, simple, and reliable MACs (Moves, Adds and Changes) while providing scalability for future expansion. The high-density, modular fiber optics management system feature clear demarcation points between incoming and outgoing connections. This means that maintenance can be accomplished with minimal disruption, keeping data center operations active and profitable.
Boosting scalability, reliability and performance together
By optimising space with an efficient, high-density physical foundation, operational costs have been reduced and Stellium’s evolving data centers have room to grow. Fast deployment during construction and operation meant Stellium was able to deliver reliable services, quickly and efficiently. With HUBER+SUHNER’s LISA solution, Stellium not only saved time and space, but also achieved an attractive cost-benefit ratio for their data center operations.
“At HUBER+SUHNER we understand the challenges that arise throughout the planning, building and operation of data centers and the surrounding network. As such, we commit ourselves to pushing the technological boundaries for connectivity solutions that offer speed, density and performance for our customers.”
Andreas Sila, Vice President Data Center and Fixed Access Network at HUBER+SUHNER
