More and more businesses are adopting edge computing for increased security, consistent networking and real-time responsiveness. More businesses and more businesses are tackling the challenges of the edge.
According to the Gartner Research report, new business requirements and technical capabilities are driving more computing and communications applications toward the edge of the network. Edge architectures and technologies are set to be an essential component of innovative products and services.
Specifically, the Gartner report found that edge computing is being used:
Edge computing allows businesses to capture more data, make real-time decisions and interact directly with clients and customers. According to Gartner, around 10% of today’s enterprise data is already being produced and processed outside of centralised data centres. By 2025, this will grow to 75% or more, creating a $29 billion market. This means the pressure is on to create an alternative to the traditional method of shipping data back and forth to the data centre to be stored and processed.
The primary drivers behind edge computing are:
Edge computing applications have the following requirements:
Zella DC - tackling the challenges of the edge
Zella DC micro data centres are perfect for tackling the challenges of the edge.
A Zella Pro is a stand-alone housing unit that replicates all of the cooling, security, power and monitoring capabilities of a traditional data centre on a much smaller, lower-cost scale, making it ideal for edge requirements. It miniaturises the data centre into the size of an average refrigerator, offering its own cooling and power capabilities, significantly reducing operational and energy costs by 30-60%, and the on-premise IT footprint. Moreover, it allows for portability and can be moved from location to location and expanded to a set of “modular’’ data centres as a business grows.
Each Zella Pro is robust, secure, with cooling systems that minimise energy cost while giving customers flexibility of size and sophistication. All boxes are monitored for performance 24/7/365 even when there is no network available.
