EDGE COMPUTING
The processing takes place on-site within the data centre. This local deployment ensures that control decisions are made without dependency on external systems, reducing latency and maintaining operational continuity. The results showed a reduction of 19.1 % in energy consumption for cooling within the observed period. The system includes safeguards that prevent actions outside defined parameters and allow operators to revert to manual control if required.
This use of real-time processing demonstrates how edge principles apply within data centre environments. Systems operate continuously, adapting to conditions and maintaining performance without interruption.
Linking edge and core infrastructure NTT DATA’ s approach connects edge processing with core infrastructure through managed services. Data centres remain part of the architecture, supporting workloads that require aggregation, storage or further analysis. At the same time, processing shifts outward to reduce reliance on central systems.
