When dealing with any form of data, latency is a problem that always arises. Those few milliseconds of wait time can be worth immense amounts of money. In the modern world, users demand data immediately, at the click of a button. In turn, this latency is no longer a factor that is tolerable. To combat this, Edge data centres are used. Edge data centres are smaller, more localised data centres that are situated closer to the end user. They are being used very frequently, in order to act as a cost-efficient way of providing customers with the content they request, at increasing rates.
What are the Key Features of an Edge Data Centre?
In order to be impactful, Edge data centres focus on a few specific characteristics of a data transfer:
- Size – Edge data centres are much smaller than regular ones, while still maintaining the same components of the traditional ones.
- Proximity – Edge data centres are located much closer to the end users, in order to attempt to decrease latency as much as possible. Furthermore, the data centres are managed locally.
- Grouping – Many Edge data centres make up a large network of centres, that are all linked via a CEDC (central enterprise data centre).
