EdgeMicro Selects Compass' BitBox BMS Platform For Edge Data Center Management
BitBox Platform is designed to simplify management of distributed infrastructure.
Compass Datacenters' BitBox platform has been selected to serve as the foundation for the management of EdgeMicro's Mobile Edge Data Centers. EdgeMicro is deploying its infrastructure in an initial rollout of 30 cities, with aggressive plans to scale to hundreds of sites in North America and a roadmap for thousands of global deployments. The BitBox platform enables companies to monitor and manage distributed IT infrastructure through a unified system.
EdgeMicro, which was launched in 2017, operates in the "edge" colocation space. "We have a patent pending for an 'Edge Exchange' technology, which facilitates interconnection between mobile operators and network/application provider services, anywhere within the mobile operators' network," explains Anton Kapela, CTO of EdgeMicro. "We've also designed a Micro Data Center that provides 48kW of critical load housed in a prefabricated 8/20 module."
