Chilean telco Entel has launched a new Edge data center offering alongside micro data center firm Zella DC.

Entel Digital has launched EdgeDC, a solution it says is designed to bring data center capabilities directly to the point where data is generated.

"Operations no longer live in one place. Today they are in sites, branches, retail, and remote environments, where continuity cannot depend on a centralized data center," the company said on LinkedIn. "That's why at Entel Digital we introduced EdgeDC, a new proposal that brings data center capabilities directly where the operation occurs."

The company said the modular all-in-one offering integrates power, cooling, security, and monitoring into one unit.

Previously known as Zellabox, Zella DC was founded in Perth, Western Australia, and offers a number of micro data center products – self-contained, single-rack data center pods that can be deployed inside buildings or outside.

"It's exciting to see Entel Digital launch EdgeDC. Congratulations!" Angie Keeler, Zella DC co-founder and CEO, said on LinkedIn. "We're seeing growing demand for infrastructure closer to where operations occur, whether at remote sites, in industrial settings, or across distributed networks. Zella DC is proud to be part of this change and to help support solutions that keep businesses running in real time, no matter where they operate."
