With distributed network edge data centers set to be deployed at scale to support new data-intensive and ultra-low latency applications, explore the best-practice the industry can adopt to overcome seven key challenges of deploying these data centers at scale, including:

  • Selecting equipment compatible with local site conditions and the wider network
  • Overcoming limitations in the space available to build or expand
  • Adapting to harsh outdoor environments that increase the risk of damage to IT equipment
  • Minimizing the environmental impact of scaling out distributed network edge data centers
  • Reporting on the environmental impact of scaling out distributed network edge data centers
  • Trouble-shooting management & operational challenges across a large number of geographically dispersed data centers
  • Vulnerability of physical infrastructure equipment to cyber attacks
