Why You Need a Unified Edge and IoT Strategy
Having a unified edge/IoT strategy ensures your infrastructure is optimized to meet the objectives of your organization’s IoT strategy. Properly implemented, such a strategy reduces risk, provides insights into your operations, and enables new services.
In terms of building edge data centres, prefabricated, modular data centre components are a good fit. Prefabricated modular data centres offer a practical alternative to building a new or expanding existing it space, minimise construction costs and complexity by having your it space built offsite, in a factory environment.
DCIM/DMaaS: Critical to Edge Data Centres
Data center infrastructure management (DCIM) and Data Center Management as a Service (DMaaS) technologies will also have a significant role to play in unified IoT/edge environments that are highly distributed. That’s especially true given that many edge data centers will have few to no IT staff on site, making remote management capabilities critical. DCIM and DMaaS tools, including Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure IT™, will also have to play in a multivendor environment, to reflect the nature of most data centers.
