The data center is always evolving, and
CommScope’s Living Infrastructure will be there
with architectural designs to drive efficiency and
productivity, extend the life of your network and
maximize the return on your investments.
This guide includes a variety of architecture designs,
each with a different set of advantages. Along with
some of the most common implementations, these
designs will help you determine the right data center
building blocks to meet your needs.

Summary
This guide provides 14 example solutions to support connectivity throughout your data center. Each
design has its advantages and reasons for use, and some applications will lend themselves to a specific
solution. There is not a single “best” solution that will support all applications. Variations of these solutions
are implemented throughout the world to meet specific data center needs. Each solution is designed
for use as a pod or building block, not a complete data center design. Each pod and corresponding
bill of materials can be replicated to support the size and requirements of your network. Pods can
be combined, as data centers typically incorporate multiple applications, each of which may have a
different optimal solution to support it.
The bill of materials provide an easy-to-use list of connectivity – cabling, shelves, and enclosures – to
support a wide variety of equipment. These pre-terminated copper and fiber components are ideal
for pod implementations as they support current and expected future applications with factory-level
performance, fast installation and long-term manageability. These bill of materials can be modified to
meet the needs of your specific data center application.

CommScope’s Living Infrastructure will be there

with architectural designs to drive efficiency and

productivity, extend the life of your network and

maximize the return on your investments.

This guide includes a variety of architecture designs,

each with a different set of advantages. Along with

some of the most common implementations, these

designs will help you determine the right data center

building blocks to meet your needs.
