36Kr was informed that “Attom Technology” completed the tens of millions of RMB angel round financing, which was invested by Onroad Capital, and this round of funds will be mainly used for technical iteration of the integrated solution.

Attom Technology is a technology company focusing on providing integrated solutions for distributed edge computing micro data centers. The entire solution includes systems smart monitoring, power systems and cooling systems, to protect the mission critical equipments working continuously. The micro data center from Attom Technology is the industry most flexible solution platform, featuring easy deployment, easy management, and easy expansion.

What is a micro data center for distributed edge computing?

To put it simply, when the volume of data is getting larger and larger, enterprises are increasingly digging deeper into data, and the pressure on the centralized database and the cloud is growing, and the bottleneck is emerging. Therefore, setting up a micro data center locally, part of the operation is locally digested and then uploaded to the cloud, and using distributed architecture has gradually become one of the solutions to reduce broadband cost, delay and improve efficiency.

Distributed architecture is becoming one of the solutions to reduce broadband costs, latency, and efficiency.

From the development of the Internet of Things and distributed edge cloud technology, Frank Xu, founder of Attom Technology, believes that the micro data center of distributed edge computing will become the mainstream, and it needs to be more smarter and more automatic to simplify the service and management.

Frank Xu introduced that it takes only one day for customers to complete the installation, deployment of IT equipment and start the business, productization of the in-depth test box integration, simplifying all unnecessary additional site engineering; secondly, for managers, Attom will provide a standardized remote management platform to quickly identify suspicious problems and provide predictive protection. Finally, in order to meet the diversified non-standard requirements of customers, Attom will disperse product configuration and functions through small particles. The product portfolio solves the problem of non-standard requirements. Users can directly configure online ordering and output specifications. For example, on the power supply, Attom has set up a product portfolio of 3kVA to 50kVA UPS modules. On cooling, Attom provides 2.5kW – 40kW modular cooling selections, and at the same time, they are also developing a new generation of liquid cooling technology.

At present, in the market of micro data centers, industry giants such as Emerson, Schneider, and Huawei are also providing services. This is a 2B and 2G market, which has high requirements for resources. For startup companies, the competitive advantage is the flexibility. Therefore, Attom market strategy is based on out of China markets, while choosing to cut into the emerging AI upstarts.

Frank Xu mentioned that the Out of China partners are more focused on the product itself, as well as the service and support capabilities given by the brand owner in the whole process of pre-sale and after-sales, and the recently grown AI company needs a set of micro data more than the traditional data company.

In the past year, Attom Technology relied mainly on agents distributed around the world to sell its own products, with sales revenue of nearly 10 million RMB. In addition to cooperation with large-scale foundries, it also began to build its own factories to meet its own special needs.

Attom Technology was established in 2015. After two years of research and development, it officially launched its products in 2017. The core team members are from Emerson, Huawei and Kstar. Founder Frank Xu has 16 years of experience in network power industry. He has worked for Emerson Network Power Co., Ltd. as deputy general manager and Shenzhen Kstar Technology Co., Ltd. as product director.
