Three innovative technologies to address UPS challenges at the edge
We’re on the edge of something big. IT managers are implementing edge computing in almost every industry to support high bandwidth content distribution, the Internet of Things (IoT) and on-premise applications.
Local edge computing is part of the larger hybrid IT architecture that brings bandwidth-intensive content and latency-sensitive applications closer to the user or the data source.
With the increasing focus on local edge computing comes added pressure to select a better uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for this application.
Selecting the right UPS is critical to ensure the system remains operational and secure. General UPS challenges such as footprint, weight, frequency of battery replacement, efficiency and energy cost can have a real financial consequence on businesses that deploy edge computing and need to be considered.
This e-book discusses these UPS challenges faced at the local edge and explains how the following three technologies address them:
- wide-bandgap technology
- lithium-ion battery technology
- cloud-based management and monitoring technology.
We then introduce examples of UPSs that embody these technologies and provide a total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis.
