Best Practices to Deploy Sustainable and Resilient Data Centers at Scale at the Network Edge

Demand for low latency points to a converged IT & telco architecture and data center requirements

Best Practices to Deploy Sustainable and Resilient Data Centers at Scale at the Network Edge

To support the growth of data-intensive and ultra-low latency applications, local edge data centers must be scaled out in a wide range of environments. Deploying these data centers at scale presents unique challenges for power and cooling, energy efficiency, management, and maintenance. Data center owners and operators must elevate sustainability from a concern, to a core value to minimize energy use, greenhouse gas emissions and waste. These data centers must also be designed to meet resiliency and performance targets. In this paper, we define the network edge, and briefly de-scribe how the telco cloud and IT cloud architectures will converge into a single and complementary architecture. We define the three types of distributed local edge data centers that are the building blocks of this convergence. From here we analyze the unique scaling challenges and propose best practices to help data center owners and operators deploy sustainable and resilient distributed local edge data centers at scale, at the network edge.

Can 2022 accelerate positive change in the energy (and thus climate) arena? If so, the future will look much brighter.

The events of 2022 brought untold pain for millions around the world. But they also generated an opportunity we cannot afford to miss: to tackle the energy and the climate crises, hand-in-hand.

Importance Of An Ecosystem To Deliver IT Solutions That Enable Today's Digital World

While IT solution providers want to do it all — independently design, deploy, manage, and service complete IT solutions — it's simply not realistic. Solutions may be delivered in a way that's transparent to the customer but in today’s digital world, it takes an ecosystem to accomplish it.

Services in the age of IoT

Boost performance, productivity, safety, and efficiency. Sound too good to be true?

Yes, we can have sustainable cities

Cities are one of the fields where the battle for climate change will be won or lost, and we aim to win it.
