Optical Networking is the process of network communication between computers, telephones and other electronic devices using light pulses. The optical networks are more reliable and have more data carrying capacity than electrical networks.Optical transmission is done through optical fibers. There are three layers in an optical fiber: The innermost layer is called 'core', which carries the light pulses (in which data is encoded); the middle layer...more
Colocation is a term used to define a Data Center that is a network-connected, secure and resilient commercial facility for housing the telecommunications and IT infrastructure. Colocation involves the sub-letting of space in a safe and secure environment for Internet Service Provider (ISP), Application Service Provider (ASP) systems and equipment and corporate IT systems. Both carrier and carrier-neutral organizations provide Data Center...more
Blood Glucose Test Strip is a device on which the blood sample is taken for diabetic tests to be carried out. These strips are enabled with electrochemical biosensors or enzymes. Certain test strips provide direct results; whereas, others require glucose monitors for the test results to be accurately displayed. Blood Glucose Test Strips form one of the major sectors of the Glucose Testing Devices market. There has been a rapid growth in the Blood Glucose Test Strips market, owing to the increase in the diabetic patient population. This increase can be mainly attributed to growing aging population, unhealthy lifestyle, and rise in obesity related issues. Further, remote diagnosis is driving the Global Blood Glucose Test Strips market. Also, the growth of this market can be attributed to empowered patients opting for more accurate and faster results. The Blood Glucose Test Strips are being improvised through new technological enhancements with the use of nanotechnology, electrochemical bio-sensors and improved enzymes. These innovations facilitate easy, accurate, and painless blood glucose diagnosis for diabetic patients. Further, technical advancements in reagents used in test...more
Femtocells are small wireless communication systems, mainly designed for use in residential or small business environments. They have the ability to connect to a solution provider's network through broadband (like DSL). The number of mobile and broadband users, around the globe, is increasing manifold.

Network Attached Storage (NAS) is a file-level storage that provides data access to multiple clients over a network. A NAS system is primarily deployed to handle files, rather than a block data. Thus, NAS has the ability to reduce management overheads and prevent network latency. Further, NAS is easily accessible over a LAN through protocols like...more
A Storage Area Network (SAN) is a multi-purpose architecture that connects multiple types of data storage appliances with servers. These data storage appliances may include disk arrays, tape libraries and optical drives. SAN enables access to highly efficient storage systems with block storage protocols. SAN storage systems are available to multiple users at the same time; thus, making it more scalable and flexible. The SAN market is growing steadily due to the current advancements (such as integration with complex techniques) taking place in the storage sector. Further, this market is estimated to undergo mid-single digit growth in the coming years. Some features driving the growth of this market include direct and faster data transfers, optimized application performance, centralized and consolidated data storage, rapid Return On Investments (ROI) and reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Moreover, SAN enables communication over the network and allows access to multiple users at once. Recently, many organizations have opted for data consolidation to reduce storage cost and to have a better management. SAN based storage systems help these companies achieve storage...more
The Mobile Security market consists of mobile end-point devices and software solutions, which are designed or configured to provide security to the mobile devices. The mobile devices included in this market are cellular phones, PDAs and other smart...more
