LINK-PP SFPs placed in top-of-rack (ToR) or aggregation switches support this high-bandwidth traffic plane without becoming a bottleneck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" >Storage Area Network (SAN) &amp; Backup Links<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many high-end databases rely on SANs or networked storage backends, often using Fibre Channel or iSCSI over optical fiber. While LINK-PP primarily offers Ethernet SFPs, the same optical backbone supports these storage networks, and clean, low-latency links are beneficial for database I\/O paths. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" >Inter-Data-Center &amp; Disaster Recovery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For geographically distributed databases or backups, 10 km (or longer) optical links are common.
