There is a lot of talk about the ‘Edge’, but how does it apply to your business?
Put simply Edge computing utilises decentralised computing power in order to reduce the heavy load and latency issues on larger centralised facilities. This offers the end-user an improved, more efficient, localised service.
An Edge Data Centre is typically (though not always) a smaller deployment located on the edge of a network, away from a large centralised facility, but closer to the end-user, thereby acting as an intermediary able to send and receive data efficiently. It quite literally shortens the distance the data needs to travel, thereby reducing latency and increasing speed. An Edge Data Centre can be part of a complex network of data centres with a smaller footprint, connected to a central larger Enterprise Data Centre.
Edge computing is increasingly becoming an essential part of network strategy, and Edge Data Centres are a vital component for companies wanting their data to reach further, faster and more efficiently. Mavin Powercube are currently involved in several Edge Data Centre projects.
