What is an Edge Data Center? | Nlyte

An edge data center is a compact, distributed, and localized computing facility designed to bring applications, data processing, and storage capabilities closer to the end-users or "things" that need them. These purpose-built micro-facilities are engineered for low-latency tasks and high-reliability operations, executing compute and storage functions within milliseconds of data generation points. The Uptime Institute defines this as the distribution of compute and storage to the very edge of the network, which can encompass diverse locations such as a factory floor, a telecommunications cell tower, a carrier point of presence, or a smart building.
