SUSTAINABILITY
As a result , modular data centres are becoming increasingly adopted , particularly as AI , IoT , ML and 5G drive an even higher data demand .
Edge computing has been a big industry topic for a long period of time . But it ’ s actually application-based computing that has advanced the cloud ’ s – and so , edge data centres ’ – evolution .
“ Certainly , in the cases of driverless cars , Google maps , or any other application where it needs to be working 100 % of the time , you can ' t have downtime or latency issues ,” asserts Elliott Turek , the Global Offer Manager for Prefabricated Modular Solutions at Schneider Electric . “ With the advent of this increased demand , you need a data centre to provide such a service .”
“ What I ' m really interested in seeing is how we use this for efficiency and sustainability gains , and really start to build these data centres with a longer term purpose ”
