Perhaps the most pressing infrastructure challenge at the edge is thermal management. The rise of AI and other high-performance computing (HPC) applications is driving a dramatic increase in server and rack power densities. The industry average for a data center rack is rapidly moving from 10 kW towards 20 kW, with high-density AI deployments pushing well beyond 40 kW and even approaching 100 kW per rack. This level of heat generation is pushing traditional air-cooling methods to their absolute limits.

Software-Defined Power (SDP) is a transformative technology that is particularly well-suited to the dynamic and automated nature of edge computing. Defined by the Uptime Institute as a layer of abstraction that makes it easier to continuously match power resources with changing data center needs, SDP moves power management from a static, hardware-based function to a dynamic, software-controlled one.

s edge computing continues to expand, energy efficiency is becoming a top priority for operators managing distributed infrastructure. One of the most widely used metrics for evaluating energy performance in data centers is Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). But when it comes to small, modular, and often unmanned edge sites, traditional PUE measurement methods can fall short. That’s where edge PUE optimization comes into play.

Edge Power Management for High-Density Sites

Edge Power Management for High-Density, Unattended Sites As edge computing continues to expand, the infrastructure supporting it must evolve to meet new challenges. Among the most critical of these is power. For high-density, unmanned edge... Read More

For any mission-critical facility, a constant and reliable source of power is the most fundamental requirement. For unmanned edge data centers, where there is no on-site staff to respond to a utility outage, a robust and automated power redundancy strategy is not just a best practice—it is an absolute necessity. The design must ensure continuous operation through any foreseeable power disruption.
