IPM networks will be used to build Storage Area Networks (SAN) that allow
for massive data storage. The amount of data that will be needed for emerging
imaging technology will be immense. The use of SANs in decentralized locations
will be essential for managing this data. IPM decentralized data centers
can be used for this purpose. Basic data center components to be provided
to tenants, clients and users include:
- Flexibility of wiring systems for telecommunications and power.
