KEYS TO OPTIMIZING TODAY’S CRITICAL IT NETWORK EDGE The IT landscape continues to change. Trends are driving more and more computing to the "edge of the network". Professionals today are asking what this means to their infrastructure systems. !!!!!!! IoT IMPACT: BIGGER: The “internet of things” (IoT) wave is driving the “connection of most everything!” GROWING: Mobile Data Traffic Exploding 26 billion 11 billion exabytes per month by 2017 connected devices by 2020 -Gartner 2014 -Cisco VNI Forecast for mobile data traffic PAN - personal area network NETWORKS SEEM TO BE LAN - local area network MAN - metro area network WAN - wide area network EVERYWHERE! The IT Edge now has about 2.8 MM Server/IT Rooms. -Gartner, Blue Canyon Unified infrastructure systems address new data center challenges through intelligent, integrated and rapidly deployable holistic solutions consisting of power, thermal and infrastructure management in a small footprint.
