Partnership between Forehand and Corning
Corning and Forehand have had a reliable partnership since 2016. Together, our goal is to deliver innovative IT infrastructure solutions that connect the world (and the future).
Specifically for data centers, Corning has developed the EDGE™ Rapid Connect, a high-density cabling solution optimized to establish data center connections faster than ever. This results in a reduction of up to 70% in installation time when installing trunk cables between data center buildings.
Sustainability
In recent years, Corning has expanded its focus to renewable energy, waste reduction, and designing and producing products with sustainable characteristics. Corning is also accelerating climate actions by implementing carbon reduction goals. Additionally, they have set climate action targets using guidelines developed by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Specifically, Corning is leveraging innovative inventions to protect the environment and pave the way for cleaner air, cleaner water, and healthier future generations.
