Edge Computing

Powered by the cloud, edge computing enables businesses to reimagine experiences for people, purpose, and profitability, at speed and scale.

What is edge computing?

Edge computing is an emerging computing paradigm which refers to a range of networks and devices at or near the user. Edge is about processing data closer to where it’s being generated, enabling processing at greater speeds and volumes, leading to greater action-led results in real time.

Components of edge computing

Edge devices: We already use devices that do edge computing every day—like smart speakers, watches and phones – devices which are locally collecting and processing data while touching the physical world. Internet of Things (IoT) devices, point of sales (POS) systems, robots, vehicles and sensors can all be edge devices—if they compute locally and talk to the cloud.

Network edge: Edge computing doesn’t require a separate “edge network” to exist (it could be located on individual edge devices or a router, for example). When a separate network is involved, this is just another location in the continuum between users and the cloud and this is where 5G can come into play. 5G brings extremely powerful wireless connectivity to edge computing with low latency and high cellular speed, which brings exciting opportunities like autonomous drones, remote telesurgery, smart city projects and much more. The network edge can be particularly useful in cases where it is too costly and complicated to put compute on premises and yet high responsiveness is required (meaning the cloud is too distant).

On-premises infrastructure: These are for managing local systems and connecting to the network and could be servers, routers, containers, hubs or bridges.

Why is edge computing important?

Much of today’s computing already happens at the edge in places like hospitals, factories and retail locations, processing the most sensitive data and powering critical systems that must function reliably and safely. These places require solutions with low latency that do not need a network connection. What makes edge so exciting is the potential it has for transforming business across every industry and function, from customer engagement and marketing to production and back-office operations. In all cases, edge helps make business functions proactive and adaptive—often in real-time—leading to new, optimized experiences for people.

Edge allows businesses to bring the digital world into the physical. Bringing online data and algorithms into brick-and-mortar stores to improve retail experiences. Creating systems that workers can train and situations where workers can learn from machines. Designing smart environments that look out for our safety and comfort. What these examples all have in common is edge computing, which is enabling companies to run applications with the most critical reliability, real-time and data requirements directly on-site. Ultimately, this allows companies to innovate faster, stand up new products and services more quickly and opens up possibilities for the creation of new revenue streams.

Unleash your AI Evolution

AI-READY DATA CENTER

Adoption of accelerated IT and high-performance computing (HPC) architectures is growing at a fast pace to meet the demands of AI workloads. Power consumption and heat generation from AI chips are orders of magnitude higher than conventional IT equipment. Power and cooling infrastructure designs are being transformed as traditional cooling technologies might not measure up to the needs of AI workloads. Don’t let your infrastructure slow down your AI deployments or throttle your AI workloads. We can help you rethink your critical infrastructure in the age of AI.

AI Chip Evolution

Direct-to-chip

Cold plates sit atop the heat-generating components (usually chips such as CPUs and GPUs) to draw off heat. Fluid flows through manifolds and in pipes through IT equipment, exchanging heat with cold plates to draw off heat without touching the chips. Air cooling is still required to extract heat from components that do not have a cold plate.

AI Chip Evolution

Rear Door Heat Exchanger

Passive or active heat exchangers replace the rear door of the IT rack. Fluid goes through heat exchanging coils in the back of the rack absorbing heat in the air carried by the fans of IT equipment (hence why often called "air-to-liquid"). These are often used in combination with direct-to-chip as a strategy to keep room neutrality, or a transitional design enabling an easy conversion into direct-to-chip in the future.

AI Chip Evolution

Immersion Cooling

Servers and other IT equipment are submerged in a tank filled with thermally conductive but dielectric (electric non-conductive) fluid. There is no need of air cooling as equipment is the tank. This approach maximizes the thermal transfer properties of liquid and is often the most energy-efficient form of liquid cooling on the market.

HIGH DENSITY COOLING

In the inferno of modern data centers, traditional air cooling struggles to tame the ever-growing heat of high-powered processors. But fear not, for a technological phoenix rises from the ashes! High Density Cooling with Immersion Cooling systems ushers in a new era, allowing businesses to harness the unparalleled cooling power of liquids without the bank-breaking burden of overhauling their entire infrastructure. TECBOMO empowers you to embrace the future of thermal management, saving your data center from the fiery grip of inefficiency.

A major reason data centers are adopting liquid cooling for existing facilities is its superior efficiency in handling heat. Traditional air cooling struggles to keep up with increasingly powerful equipment, leading to limitations on server density and performance. Liquid's ability to absorb and transfer heat much more effectively allows data centers to pack more servers into a single space, while still maintaining optimal temperatures. This translates to increased processing power and potentially even smaller data center footprints for organizations.
