Energy consumed by IT equipment generates heat that must be dissipated, or the electronics will overheat and fail. Edge deployments introduce a unique set of challenges, particularly around power consumption and cooling. By adopting more resilient Edge Computing Appliances with lower energy consumption and passive conductive cooling, organizations can eliminate maintenance, extend the lifespan of their IT equipment and reduce total cost of ownership.

In an effort to streamline IT operations and contribute to sustainability goals, organizations increasingly turn to hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI), which typically refers to converting computing, networking, and storage into a unified software platform. When combined with the growing trend to move towards the edge, where data is generated and consumed closer to end-users, there is a concurrent need to extend convergence beyond software, and into hardware. Hyper-converged Edge Computing Appliances combine the benefits of hardware and software to enable localized data processing, integrated IT resources, and sustainable operational models.

Edge computing does not need to support the same number of virtual machines and containers that might be needed in cloud server environments. In many cases 8-core or 12-core processors will be perfectly suited to OT and IT deployments in edge computing scenarios.
