The future architecture will likely have at least 3 variations

1) Could be a gateway or embedded device

2) Could be 1-8 racksor micro data center

3) Could be a regionaldata center’

<10ms

latency

Embedded devices: • Limited processing and storage

• Deployment is ‘immediate’

• Suitable for home or small office applications

Micro data centers: • Significant processing and storage

• Fast to deploy in existing environments

• Suitable for a broad base of applications requiring low latency and/or high bandwidth

Regional data centers:• ‘Unlimited’ processing and storage

• Longer to construct due to permitting and local compliance issues

• Suitable for applications that can tolerate some latency

Micro data centers (1-10 IT racks) fill an important roll

Enterprise: finance, retail, outsourced IT

Industrial: oil & gas, mining, manufacturing

Government and Military

Customer Trends

Healthcare and Education

Enterprise: finance, retail, outsourced IT

Customer Trends

• Retail stores connecting to customer devices for mapping apps, buying

habits, targeted sales, financial transactions, etc.

• Banking branches becoming more automated and integrated into retail

sites. Dedicated space for IT infrastructure is not available.

• SMB enterprise customers with outsourced IT still require local storage,

and networking for critical applications requiring low-latency. Often an

upgrade of “left over” infrastructure is needed.

Industrial: oil & gas, mining, manufacturing

Customer Trends

• Exploration is sites are producing massive amounts of data through

sensors and imaging that need to be processed on site for real-time

analysis

• Production and manufacturing facilities are becoming highly

automated. IT equipment has short life span if not protected from

harmful airborne particles and heat.

• Assembly plants use autonomous robots, video sensors, automated

lines that all require local processing on the factory floor

Government and Military

Customer Trends

• Regional governments and interdepartmental offices often require data

to be kept on site/campus. Physical security and disaster recovery are

critical to operations

• Military forward operations are managing data from drones, field

cameras, and smart weaponry. Mobile command centers need to be

operational in many different types of harsh environments.

Healthcare and Education

Customer Trends

• Demand on Hospital data centers is driving expansion. Imaging, video

and patient data need to be processed and distributed to different

departments on campus or remote offices. Local processing is needed

at nurses stations, lab facilities, and operating rooms.

• University research laboratories require powerful processing in areas

typically not designed for the necessary power and cooling. In

addition, they often have small windows of time to upgrade

infrastructure.

Micro data center definition

A micro data center is a self contained, secure computing environment that includes all the storage, processing and networking required to run the customer’s applications in a single rack or small, multi-rack solution.

Single rack and multi-rack infrastructure solutions that include all necessary power, cooling, security, and associated management tools (DCIM) assembled and tested in a factory environment are available in themarket.

Prefabricated / Containerized

Rack Based

All manufactured, assembled & tested in a factory environment.

Micro DC solutions for different types of environment

IT Rack Based – Value priced solutions for traditional IT

environment

Racks for Offices– Sound-proof with decorative exterior for

office environment

Racks for Harsh environments– Secure, insulated, dust-

proof, and actively cooled for industrial environments

Prefabricated Modules and Containers – Integrated,

weather-proof, fire-rated, deploy anywhere solution

Case Study:Sporting & Outdoor Retailer, USA

Customer Challenge

• Current approach was a mix and match of different

size, type, and quality of racking and equipment in

the back of their stores

• The challenge was bring 124 stores throughout the

US to a common standard

Solution

• Fully configured single-rack solutions

• Included UPS, PDU, servers, storage and

networking

• Pre-configured, crated and shipped as a plug-and-

play solution to customer sites

• Only 1 IT technician needed on-site to start-up and

operate

BEFORE

Case Study: Governmental, South America

Customer Challenge

• Need for simplified, secure and stand-alone IT

Infrastructure

• Internal auto-provisioning and billing platform; cost

assignment to each department

• SaaS deployment; centralized app management

• OpEx reduction (energy reduction, management)

Solution

• 9 single racks (1 per hospital) with air conditioning,

long runtime power protection and environmental

monitoring

• Simplified, secure, cost-effective

Customer Challenge:

• Growing hospital with a need for greater data center

capacity with little available space
