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.

Top Edge Data Center Drivers in 2025

As digital transformation accelerates and data volumes explode, edge computing is no longer a niche concept—it’s a necessity. While market forces and power availability often dominate the conversation, there are deeper, more technical forces at... Read More

The relationship between Artificial Intelligence and edge computing is not merely correlational; it is a powerful, symbiotic feedback loop that accelerates the growth of both domains. On the one hand, AI is a primary demand driver for edge infrastructure. The need for real-time inferencing—making decisions based on live data—in applications like autonomous systems, smart retail, and industrial automation requires the low-latency processing that only edge deployments can provide.
