there that need to have something other than a very small processing device – having an impact ,” Kramer adds .
Alongside this , modular data centre providers will be using edge-enabled technologies themselves to achieve greater efficiencies and capabilities within their units .
“ I think Schneider ' s at the forefront of using AI and , with a lot of the things that we ' re working on , we can be really successful in using that type of methodology ,” Turek says .
Alongside smaller independent sites , modular data centres are also set to drive some major changes across hyperscale locations . In fact , Schneider has traditionally worked with hyperscalers , including many of the industry ’ s big cloud players .
“ Modular data centres have already had a really large impact , I ' d say , in the large hyperscale data centre market ,” Kramer explains .
“ There ’ s a sort of race to build data centre capacity , which is being driven by everything that ' s happening on the edge . The real advantage in the hyperscale space is being able to meet that fast-moving demand and manage parallel activity , so that you can do more in a shorter amount of time .”
“ The next frontier is going to be focused around the edge and moving all that processing power from those big data centres to lots and lots of places .”
