Fortifying Edge Data Centers

Edge computing has emerged as a transformative force, bringing data processing closer to where it’s generated. This shift enhances speed and efficiency but also introduces a dramatically expanded attack surface. With billions of IoT and... Read More
Understanding the Attack Surface on Edge Data Centers The attack surface in an edge computing environment is vast and multifaceted. It extends far beyond the traditional network perimeter and encompasses every layer of the technology stack.

Why Liquid Cooling for Edge Is Now Essential

Why Liquid Cooling for Edge Is Now Essential As artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) continue to evolve, they are placing unprecedented demands on data center infrastructure, especially at the edge. One of the... Read More
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.

Why Software-Defined Power for Edge Is a Game Changer

Why Software-Defined Power for Edge Is a Game Changer As edge computing continues to expand, the need for smarter, more adaptive infrastructure becomes increasingly critical. One of the most transformative innovations in this space is Software-Defined... Read More
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.
