Powering Edge Data Centers
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the possibilities of edge computing to the new generation of IT and facility professionals.
- Explain the forces driving edge computing with the focus on the underlying compute and commercial demands being placed upon an edge facility.
- Define and illustrate infrastructure solutions for wherever your edge compute, network, or storage function exists.
- Learn the historical perspective on the disaggregation of data center infrastructure and how to make the process work to your advantage.

An edge data facility is still a data center. One still and must consider design, construction, and operational habits that result in high levels of system availability, maintainability, and resiliency. The disaggregation that edge poses will distribute compute and storage assets, and the challenge will be placing edge assets into sufficiently robust facilities or enclosures outside of traditional data centers where those local solutions can equally sustain those IT operations and systems. But first, one must understand the facility solutions, starting with the underlying compute and commercial demands being placed upon an edge facility. From there, we'll delve into the solutions for wherever your edge computer, network, or storage function exists.
