Modular Edge-connected data centers — Smart solutions for Modular Edge-connected data centers

Modular Edge-connected data centers Space Saving Modular Edge-connected data centers Background Most of the modular edge connected data centers are placed in the urban areas, close to the end users. Background Most of the modular edge connected data centers are placed in the urban areas, close to the end users. About 3% of the earth's surface is covered by urban areas and it is predicted that the percentage of people living there will increase from 55% today to 68% in 2050. This is why the space occupied by data centers is becoming crucial. The trend in server racks is one of increasing their density: from 4 kW/rack in 2016 to 7 kW/rack in 2018 and it is predicted that this number will reach 52 kW/rack by 2025. What about the power supply equipment inside the data center? This takes up around 35% of the space inside a data center.

To allow this huge growth of data centers without having a great impact on CO2 emission, energy efficiency must increase. Data centers are already recognizing this need, which has led to the huge decrease of PUE over the years from 2.5 in 2007 to 1.58 in 2018. There are two main challenges when it comes to the energy efficiency of a data center: to build an energy efficient data center and to be able to maintain or improve data center efficiency over the years.
