Sonic Edge EdgePod Micro Data Centres
Prefabricated, Modular, Micro Data Centres
Sonic Edge EdgePod Micro Data Centres are specifically designed for Edge and on-premise locations supporting, as standard, up to 100kW of critical load and can be deployed in the harshest environments.
Edge Computing moves the points where data is processed and stored closer together, removing reliance on centralised Cloud locations. Doing so reduces latency, increases processing power, improves performance and bandwidth all of which delivers better user experience and reduced costs.
Where facilities have no internal space for a dedicated Data Centre or Computer Room, deploying prefabricated Micro Data Centres is a real alternative.
Sonic Edge EdgePod
EdgePod MDCs are designed to operate autonomously and are built to the desired Tier level classification to support business requirements and SLAs. They can be designed and deployed in weeks enabling quicker deployment than traditional methods.
EdgePod is factory built and tested from a standard range of sizes and products, that allows for a short design, fast fabrication, build cycle and factory testing with a quick and easy site installation.
EdgePod Solution
EdgePod is a tailored solution with a variety of designs and size elements to maximise efficiency, space and scalability. The pods have been designed to maximise internal footprints and achieve industry leading operational efficiency.
A complete installation package is available that handles:
- Obtaining planning permission & landlord’s approval
- Sourcing the utility power supply
- Arranging the fibre connectivity to site
- Water supply
- On-site civil works, heat load / load bank testing etc.
Once installed and operational Maintenance Management Services are available with a 24/7/365 emergency call-out facility.
