Over the last several years, the move to the cloud has stabilized as the applications that could be easily and cost effectively outsourced, were moved to the cloud. The applications left on premise are simply too integrated into local operations or too expensive to move. This forced a change to the way data center staffs manage their assets with some assets outsourced and others still ‘on premise / at the edge’.

The need for localized content delivery and data analytics means enterprises may need to provide increased and timely compute resource both onsite and at distributed locations. There will be micro-data centers, because they will reflect the success of every company.

Micro Data Centers are the turnkey solution for enterprise and SMB clients. Small enough to deploy anywhere, sturdy enough to support enterprise-class racks gear independent of building cooling with integrated power, cooling, security and access control. The standardized modules make it flexible to integrate and pre-test everything in a factory environment, forming from half cabinet to multiple cabinets, and quickly delivered with the all-in-one portability.

Use Case 1: Micro Data Center for Enterprise IT Using Hybrid Cloud Architecture

The new “hybrid” data centers architecture can consist of a combination of – a centralized cloud characterized by massive compute and storage, regional edge data centers that consist of compute and storage located closer to the user, and local edge with smaller compute and storage assets very near to where the data is being consumed like a branch office or retail store.

Use Case 2 – Micro Data Center for SMB IT Using Cloud Computing Architecture

Most SMBs that are integrating more cloud into their IT system. Increasingly, SMBs need cost-effective, agile and scalable solutions that help to ameliorate IT risks and headaches for a small staff.

Use Case 3 – Micro Data Center for IoT Cloudlet Using Public Cloud Architecture

More and more companies realize they have to equip their machines and plants with intelligence to capture the value of their industrial data. This requires running enterprise-grade IT systems at close range to the operational technology equipment, creating actionable insights and automatic action in real time, plus the central cloud platform either private or public for data storage and analysis.
