Out-of-band digital-key access control for better physical security
Read Time: 5 minutes
Ensuring physical access control to IT infrastructure is critical for organizations and businesses of all sizes, whether that infrastructure is a computer room, telecom closet, or on-premises data center. Physical keys, fobs and RFID cards can be lost or stolen, however, and staffing changes may necessitate replacing locks or issuing new keys on a frequent basis. An out-of-band digital-key security system brings numerous advantages to physical access control.
Reducing E-Waste: How Sustainable Design Drives the Circular Economy and Environmental Impact
Read Time: 4 minutes
Electronics are vital to modern life, but their production and disposal pose significant environmental challenges. Planned obsolescence, a strategy historically used to boost short-term revenue, generates immense e-waste, depletes resources, and heightens carbon emissions. Yet, this doesn’t have to be the norm. By prioritizing sustainability through thoughtful design, reuse policies, and energy-efficient solutions, businesses can reduce waste and meet growing consumer demand for greener products. At GECCO, we are committed to redefining this narrative. Our EdgePod serves as a blueprint for sustainable electronics, showcasing how innovative design can minimize material use, extend device lifespan, and actively combat the environmental issues associated with outdated technology.
The Benefits of Repatriation: Embracing Edge Computing Appliances for VDI in Smaller Facilities
Read Time: 4 minutes
As more organizations recognize the limitations of traditional cloud solutions, the trend of repatriation — moving workloads back from the cloud to on-premises environments — has gained traction. This shift can be particularly beneficial for businesses operating smaller, distributed facilities with space, power, and cooling constraints. Leveraging Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) in conjunction with compact Edge Computing Appliances presents a transformative opportunity for these environments.
Minimizing Power and Cooling for Computing at the Edge
Read Time: 4 minutes
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.
The Evolution of HCI: From Software to Hardware
Read Time: 4 minutes
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.
How Many CPU Cores are Needed for Edge Computing?
Read Time: 4 minutes
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.
