Performing at the Edge

Edge computing is becoming one of the network strategies of IT departments at many corporations and businesses. The reason for this phenomenon is the need to significantly increase speed and reduce latency to create a highly responsive environment for end users. With more and more end users using 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI), increased responsiveness and capacity at edge locations is a consistent demand.

Next-Gen Edge Data Centers

Processing data as close as possible to the end user at the edge of the network (vs. on a central server) means smaller facilities are being built all around the world, in addition to the large data centers located in major technology and economic centers. The new generation of data centers on the network edge are increasingly using high-density computer hardware, such as GPU-packed clusters.

The new edge facilities are located in places such as wireless towers, on factory floors, or hospital wings―many in small, confined spaces. These smaller edge data centers use liquid-cooling applications to dissipate the heat generated by the heavy computing workload and to lower energy consumption and costs.

Edge Data Centers Liquid Cooling Benefit

  • Ability to have smaller, confined data centers with heavy usage
  • Significant power reduction
  • Improved energy efficiency
