ABB, HPE, And Rittal Unveil Secure Edge Data Center
Turnkey resilient micro-modular data center, purpose-built for rough environments, is designed to help customers turn data into action in real time.
At Hannover Messe, which will be held April 23-27, 2018 in Hanover, Germany, ABB, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), and Rittal will unveil the Secure Edge Data Center (SEDC) for industrial and telecommunications environments. This will allow customers to run enterprise-grade IT in close proximity to their operational technology (OT) environments, machines and equipment to enable low-latency, secure and reliable digital processes.
Gartner says that “currently, around 10 % of enterprise-generated data is created and processed outside a traditional centralized data center or cloud. By 2022, Gartner predicts this figure will reach 50%.”1 Also, the market for so-called micro-modular data centers is growing rapidly. According to 451 Research, the market has seen an annual growth rate faster than 50% on average over the last three years and it will continue to expand with initiatives like 5G and the ongoing OT-IT convergence.2
