DATA CENTRES
ON THE EDGE
OF GREATNESS
New technologies such
as 5G and the growing
use of the Internet of
Things are demanding
a shift in infrastructure
requirements, with Edge
Computing now a real
consideration for many
organisations. Industry
experts from Future
Facilities and Altron
Karabina discuss the rise
of Edge Computing and
how it could shape the
data centre of the future.
T
he volume of data is growing
exponentially – and it’s not going to
slow up anytime soon.
To counter this, change is afoot in the
infrastructure space, with one example
being the emergence of Edge Computing.
Research published by BCS Consulting
highlighted a growing shift to the Edge
of the network, with half of respondents
stating that Edge Computing would be
the biggest driver of new data centres.
We spoke to industry experts at Future
Facilities and Altron Karabaina to find out
more about Edge Computing and its role in
the infrastructure sector going forward.
