DCD’s Living at the Edge Award is now open for entries, sponsored by Panduit.
From a rooftop in Manhattan to a car park in New Delhi, a factory floor in Frankfurt to a mobile mast in Manila; the ‘edge’ means many things to many people. This updated award category seeks to celebrate the rising tide of edge data centers in all its forms. The finalists will be projects that can demonstrate to the judging panel a unique and innovative approach to housing IT at the customer edge that acts as an exemplar to the wider industry. The winner will be announced at a gala ceremony on the 6th December in central London.
Competitive Edge
The 2017 Living at the Edge Award went to Vapor IO for its Project Volutus, scheme to deliver edge resources.
Sponsor Panduit is looking forward to similar stories from entrants to the 2018 Award: ”We are delighted to be the sponsor of this year’s Living at the Edge Award; it puts a spotlight on the innovation happening in one of our industry’s most exciting frontiers. One that is driven by better connectivity,” said a representative.
