On Demand Data centers of today are rapidly transforming into data centers of tomorrow. The industry is evolving at both ends of the spectrum as it continues to increase its physical footprint while simultaneously decreasing its carbon footprint. Some data center campuses consist of several extremely large facilities, but decentralized networks that utilize small, on-site server rooms are also growing in popularity. And although there are still a lot of questions surrounding edge computing, it’s certainly not going anyway anytime soon.

Deploying networks in edge locations such as warehouses, oil fields, refineries and roadsides presents a significant difference from the environmentally controlled data center environments that IT systems administrators are used to.
