Edge for New Applications
Upgrading Legacy Technology
The need to process information close to where it is being consumed has become paramount to end user satisfaction. Whether supporting real-time analytics associated with the Internet of Things (IoT) or reducing latency on data-intensive applications, legacy technology may not be enough for the current demands of the edge evolution.

Case Study: As Pasco County, Florida, experienced IT growth through server virtualization and other applications, it sought to upgrade data center operations by adding a reliable backup system that would provide high availability, accommodate growth, and reduce its bottom line. Much of the savings gained by deploying the Vertiv™ SmartRow™ infrastructure came from the ability to implement it without expensive room upgrades, such as adding raised floors and installing dedicated cooling.
