growth . This can be seen in his approach to not just edge technology and the so-called last mile problem , but towards connectivity technology in general . While many companies and leaders tend to see technological growth as a singular and homogenous transformative process , David Keegan recognises that it shifts on a global scale in intermittent stages , and at varying degrees , around the world .
“ We see the systems that will come online will create varying levels of interconnection . And that ' s going to be down to thousands of dumb - as well as intelligent - solution devices that actually talk to each other , and they can be 100W or 500W , but they holds data both on and off premises , all locally interconnected . And certainly looking at 5G and the satellite deployments that are now happening , all these things are really not as yet properly defined .”
Orienting himself to the future , David Keegan says : “ The next 12 to 18 months look really exciting . As you know we received our investment from RGREEN INVEST in the last year and are very pleased to be partnering with them – the relationship is really strong .
“ We are already deploying two edge data centres in Ireland to create one of the city ’ s first smart solutions using DataQube , and we ' re partnering in a mode that allows us scale and growth . We ' ve sold into Australia , and we are working with partners in the US to build an edge data centre platform using DataQube . We ' re also heavily going into the Asia market , where we ' ve got a lot of inbound traction , and certainly also in the Middle East .”
Considering the potential growth of DataQube in the near future , David Keegan says : “ We anticipate having somewhere between 50 and 80 edge data centres contracted and in production ready to be deployed in the next year or two .”
As big data ramps up on a global scale , data centres are becoming evermore integral to almost every industry in one form or another , and client demand grows with it , meaning that only the most innovative data centre providers will thrive in such an environment .
David Keegan says : “ Part of our evolution is we ' re now extensively designing further product ranges to support client requirements .” datacentremagazine . com 183
