Making Edge Easy - Micro Data Centres for Defence

The rise of micro data centres in the defence industry 

At the heart of the action

While other sectors have a need for instant data transfer, storage and strong security, when it comes to sovereign defence, these requirements are at a whole different level. 

With technology, such as 5G, AI and other advanced resources, playing crucial roles within every government sector, bringing data storage to the heart of the action – including the remotest of locations – isn’t just nice to have, it’s now become essential.

 Implementing the edge offers countless opportunities, with each being bespoke to the mission in hand. Edge data centres like the Zella Fort are ideal for military operations in remote or hard to reach locations.

Fast deployment

Deployment

Data storage can be deployed wherever it’s needed, ensuring sensitive information can’t be intercepted as it travels to and fro along more traditional data routes.
Network

Network

Edge data centres keep warfighters connected allowing for seamless transfer that can be backed up as the vessel / aircraft / vehicle reconnects with the network.
IoT

IoT

Local data storage and processing power facilitate the Internet of Things (IoT), to leverage intelligent machines and unmanned autonomous systems.
