What are the main challenges of Edge deployments?
Adding compute capacity at the Edge can be a lengthy and complex process. On average, it takes 6 to 12 months from planning to commissioning, making it hard to predict timelines. Additionally, over half of the deployment costs are tied to planning, consulting, and site preparation. Other challenges include the need for additional cooling capacity due to heat generation, power upgrades for new technologies, and the complexity of managing IT across multiple sites.
How can Vertiv solutions simplify Edge deployments?
Vertiv's pre-engineered systems are designed to simplify Edge deployments by providing repeatable and scalable solutions. This approach can significantly reduce planning and construction time, with deployments taking as little as 6 to 10 weeks compared to the traditional 8 to 12 months. Additionally, these solutions help lower costs associated with planning and construction, making budgets more predictable.
What sustainability measures are included in Edge solutions?
Vertiv's Edge solutions incorporate integrated cooling systems that maximize energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions by up to 30%. With rising energy costs and demand, these solutions are designed to address sustainability concerns while ensuring efficient operation. The focus on energy-efficient technologies helps organizations meet their sustainability goals while managing operational costs.
