“Micro Data-centres are essentially a modular and miniaturised version of a traditional data centre.” They address issues related to rapid deployment, security and flexibility where a traditional data centre would face challenges. In this study, IDC examines ‘SmartBunker’ – the recently launched micro data centre solution from Schneider Electric and analyses why there is a ...

In order to relieve network congestion to improve streaming of high bandwidth content now and in the future, service providers are interconnecting a system of computers on the Internet that caches the content closer to the user. Edge computing brings bandwidth-intensive content and latency-sensitive applications closer to the user or data source. Find out the ...

Internet use is trending towards bandwidth-intensive content and an increasing number of attached “things”. At the same time, mobile telecom networks and data networks are converging into a cloud computing architecture. To support needs today and tomorrow, computing power and storage is being inserted out on the network edge in order to lower data transport ...

“When should an older UPS be replaced with a new one?” is a question that virtually all data center owners will have to answer. The answer is not always self evident and depends on several factors. This paper provides data center owners and managers a simple framework for answering the question in the context of ...

Raised floors were once a standard feature of data centers, but over time a steadily growing fraction of data centers are built on hard floors. Many of the traditional reasons for the raised floor no longer exist, and some of the costs and limitations that a raised floor creates are avoidable by using hard-floor designs. ...
