FEATURE: EDGE COMPUTING
furniture will see appliances installed in
non-ideal and often harsh environments.
Use cases such as consumer focused
Internet of Things (IoT) in retail,
Smart Cities transportation projects for
autonomous vehicles and Industrial
IoT (IIoT) deployments in processing
and manufacturing plants will see more
and more servers deployed outside safe,
environmentally controlled data centres.
These new Edge environments will not be
uniform in nature, but common to all will be
the need to keep the IT equipment cool.
Technology in
hostile environments
The disparate nature of Edge will
present new challenges to supply side
companies and their partners responsible
