To understand the sensitivity of different parameters — such as capital cost, power cost, water cost, and weather — consider the model of a typical 1,200-ton plant for a data center application operating 24/7 in four cities, representing different weather profiles:

On Demand This webinar will present the mechanical and electrical options for on-site energy storage for your mission critical environment. These options include grid-level battery storage, thermal energy storage, zero-net energy, solar, and critical power stored energy.

On Demand An edge data facility is still a data center. One still and must consider design, construction, and operational habits that result in high levels of system availability, maintainability, and resiliency. The disaggregation that edge poses will distribute compute and storage assets, and the challenge will be placing edge assets into sufficiently robust facilities or enclosures outside of traditional data centers where those local solutions can equally sustain those IT operations and systems.
