Edge Series | Are Edge Data Centers Edgy?
Show Notes

There’s no question edge data centers will play a critical role in the future of data centers. What was once just an experiential concept has now claimed its stake as a must-have for data center operators and enterprises alike. Although according to Gartner, today only 10% of data is created and processed at the edge. This is expected to rise to 75% by 2025. In this first episode of our new mini-series, Philbert Shih of Structure Research joins Arun Shenoy of Serverfarm and Ambrose McNevin of Tech Marketing, to clearly define “what is an edge data center” and how they enable enterprises to accelerate digital transformation. Plus, we look at the new era of edge and its entry into the double-digit megawatt arena — no longer limiting its size or capacity.
