Telecom operators, enterprises, colocation providers, and cloud service providers can now leverage this new data center infrastructure, which is Tier II rated in the standard version and optionally Tier III, to rapidly scale their edge computing capacity and provide the necessary infrastructure for IoT and low-latency applications. SmartNode modular data centers are available in five different capacities in their standard version, ranging from 33kW to 90kW.
“Data volume is going to grow rapidly, especially with the rollout of 5G and the rise of low-latency applications such as autonomous driving, remote healthcare, and more in the near future,” commented Rakesh Mukhija, Senior Director at Delta and responsible for Mission Critical Infrastructure Solutions in EMEA. “In response to this trend, information infrastructure also needs to change. There is a shift currently underway from cloud computing to edge computing. This is why Delta, leveraging its advanced R&D capabilities and expertise in the data center sector, is launching the new SmartNode modular data centers, which are ideal for edge computing and enterprise applications. The all-in-one design not only provides customers with a complete solution but also achieves high system integration and reliability.”.
Rapid Deployment for Edge Computing Applications in the IoT World:
Global telecom operators are currently building their 5G infrastructures, and the IoT is growing rapidly. The new networks will offer high transmission speeds, greater bandwidth, and lower latency. This performance enables and inspires a new generation of services in areas such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and autonomous vehicles.
In this IT-intensive world with high-volume data traffic, an edge data center acts as a data cache and aggregation point between users and large data centers to ease overwhelming IT workloads. Network operators need cost-effective, reliable, and rapidly deployable infrastructure like the new SmartNode modular data centers to maximize efficiency and benefits. With flexible power and cooling system design, Delta's SmartNode solutions provide rapid deployment of pre-engineered, fully integrated modules, enabling earlier IT revenue generation for a faster return on investment.
Complete and Robust Solution:
Delta's SmartNode solution is available in five different capacities: 33kW, 35kW, 50kW, 70kW, and 90kW. These five standard configurations allow for quick selection based on customer needs, are highly integrable, and include highly reliable subsystems such as modular UPS, power distribution, in-row cooling, DCIM, and more. SmartNode features include:
• Reliable Power System: The power distribution solution is integrated within the UPS, saving valuable data center space and reducing total cost of ownership (TCO).
• Heavy-Duty Rack Cabinets: The robust rack structure allows customers to fully fill it with IT equipment, supporting up to 1,420 kg.
• Optimal Cooling Management: The standard operating ambient temperature range is from -15°C to +48°C, with no derating of the nominal cooling capacity up to +39°C.
• Enhanced condenser protection: Condensing units are surrounded by a cell grid to provide protection during transport and against vandalism at the installation site.
• Excellent reliability: Robust construction and EI60 fire resistance enable system deployment in a wide range of environmental conditions.
• Advanced DCIM solution: The Delta InfraSuite Manager is available as an option. It allows operators to automate data center task management and perform optimizations.
With comprehensive professional service, Delta SmartNode solutions provide a compact and reliable design for easy IT equipment deployment.
