Datacenter and Cloud/IoT Landscape <10ms latency Edge or Local Datacenter Devices Large Datacenter Enterprise/Cloud/Colo Heavy processing and data storage >100ms latency Devices
Datacenter and Cloud/IoT Landscape <10ms latency The future architecture will likely have at least 3 variations 1) Could be a gateway or embedded device Devices 2) Could be 1-8 racks or micro data center Large Datacenter Enterprise/Cloud/Colo Heavy processing 3) Could and be data a regional storage data center Devices
Micro data centers (1-10 IT racks) fill an important roll Embedded devices: Limited processing and storage Deployment is immediate Suitable for home or small office applications Micro data centers: Significant processing and storage Fast to deploy in existing environments Suitable for a broad base of applications requiring low latency and/or high bandwidth Regional data centers: Unlimited processing and storage Longer to construct due to permitting and local compliance issues Suitable for applications that can tolerate some latency
Customer Trends Enterprise: finance, retail, outsourced IT Industrial: oil & gas, mining, manufacturing Government and Military Healthcare and Education
Customer Trends Enterprise: finance, retail, outsourced IT Retail stores connecting to customer devices for mapping apps, buying habits, targeted sales, financial transactions, etc. Banking branches becoming more automated and integrated into retail sites. Dedicated space for IT infrastructure is not available. SMB enterprise customers with outsourced IT still require local storage, and networking for critical applications requiring low-latency. Often an upgrade of left over infrastructure is needed.
Customer Trends Industrial: oil & gas, mining, manufacturing Exploration is sites are producing massive amounts of data through sensors and imaging that need to be processed on site for real-time analysis Production and manufacturing facilities are becoming highly automated. IT equipment has short life span if not protected from harmful airborne particles and heat. Assembly plants use autonomous robots, video sensors, automated lines that all require local processing on the factory floor
Customer Trends Government and Military Regional governments and interdepartmental offices often require data to be kept on site/campus. Physical security and disaster recovery are critical to operations Military forward operations are managing data from drones, field cameras, and smart weaponry. Mobile command centers need to be operational in many different types of harsh environments.
Customer Trends Healthcare and Education Demand on Hospital data centers is driving expansion. Imaging, video and patient data need to be processed and distributed to different departments on campus or remote offices. Local processing is needed at nurses stations, lab facilities, and operating rooms. University research laboratories require powerful processing in areas typically not designed for the necessary power and cooling. In addition, they often have small windows of time to upgrade infrastructure.

Micro data center definition A micro data center is a self contained, secure computing environment that includes all the storage, processing and networking required to run the customer s applications in a single rack or small, multi-rack solution. Single rack and multi-rack infrastructure solutions that include all necessary power, cooling, security, and associated management tools (DCIM) assembled and tested in a factory environment are available in the market.
Types of Micro DC solutions Micro DC solutions for different types of environment Rack Based IT Rack Based Value priced solutions for traditional IT environment Racks for Offices Sound-proof with decorative exterior for office environment Racks for Harsh environments Secure, insulated, dustproof, and actively cooled for industrial environments Prefabricated / Containerized Prefabricated Modules and Containers Integrated, weather-proof, fire-rated, deploy anywhere solution All manufactured, assembled & tested in a factory environment.
