👉 Plumbing computing, also known as plumbing and data center infrastructure, refers to the physical network of components that enable the movement of data between servers, storage devices, and other computing resources within a data center or cloud infrastructure. This includes high-speed network switches, fiber optic cables, routers, and various types of cabling like Ethernet and InfiniBand. Plumbing computing also encompasses power distribution systems, cooling mechanisms, and physical security measures to ensure reliable, efficient, and secure data transmission. It's crucial for maintaining optimal performance and uptime of computing systems by facilitating seamless communication and minimizing latency.
