Sino-Telecom STN6800-D16HE, building a reliable and stable data highway



What is Data Center Interconnect? 



Data Center Interconnect (DCI) emerge to the need for efficient communication and resource sharing between geographically distant data centers. It addresses demands for improved disaster recovery, load balancing, and optimized data processing in distributed computing environments.

Data Center Interconnect (DCI) is the technology that establishes connections between two or more data centers, enabling seamless communication, data sharing, and the exchange of computing and storage resources. It serves purposes such as backup, redundancy, and beyond. This connectivity can extend over short distances, such as within a city, or traverse vast expanses, crossing continents and oceans through sub-sea cables.

In the realm of Data Center Interconnect (DCI), the significance extends beyond mere speed, bandwidth, and capacity. Essential features like streamlined Operations and Maintenance (O&M), intelligence, and security have evolved into necessities, not mere add-ons, reflecting the demands of an ever-growing digital landscape. Sino-Telecom's DCI solution integrates these crucial functions, leveraging over a decade of expertise in the communication industry, showcasing a commitment to research and development, production, and sales.
