Paper 1 – USF Infrastructure
The video describes the core of the University of South Florida infrastructure that is two redundant devices that provides 100Gbps and 10Gbps connectivity to the distribution layer devices. Cat 5e or Cat 6 wires are used for connections throughout the campus. The computers are on the edge of the network meaning they are the closest to the user. The wires are connected to the network by a patch cord going into a wall outlet that then leads into a wiring closest that is call intermediate distribution frame or IDF, which serves as an aggregation point of the network. The max cable length is 100m over copper cables for connecting computers to the IDF. All these wires lead to Ethernet switches and patch cords are used …show more content…
An infrastructure is a means of moving data from one place to another and acting upon it. Infrastructure may be centered within a data center, with connections to users in different environments (Longbottom, "What Is Infrastructure). Transportation, communication, sewage, water and electric systems are all examples of infrastructure. In the technological age that we live in it is inherently important for a business or institutions to have an efficient infrastructure. Many services such as processing are provided through networks. A well-organized network can deliver important information and correct inventory of business orders in a fast reliable manner. The importance of the infrastructure is it allow for smooth traffic movement and avoid any blockage on the network that may cause delays or inconveniences. The most trusted institutions and corporations have efficient and reliable infrastructures that consumers an feel safe about. We all consume from businesses that function well, we shop online at the safest websites with the most reliable customer service and where we feel our data is safer. This are all aspects of proficient infrastructures, and those who fil to provide these services can lose consumer trust and …show more content…
Fiber optic cable – is a transparent glass or plastic fibers which allow light to be guided from one end to the other with minimal loss.
Intermediate distribution frame (IDF) – is a distribution frame in a central office which cross-connects the user cable media to individual user line circuits and may serve as a distribution point for multipair cables from the main distribution frame or CDF to individual cables connected to equipment in areas remote from these frames.
Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) – is a compact hot-pluggable transceiver used for both telecommunication and data communication applications.
Hence, I have learned that in order for an infrastructure to run well, all of its components must work equally effectively. Through my research I understood that infrastructure is the most important aspect of a network. In order for one to have a succeeding business or institution one must provide a reliable and trustworthy network that both the consumer and the employees providing feel is dependent and trust. This assignment ultimately helped me understand the constituents that make for a great infrastructure, such as switches, IDF, nodes, and BDF. These components must support the network in order to maintain reliability and optimal
