1. Edge Deployment Challenges
Adding compute capacity at the Edge can be a long
and complicated process for IT and Facility leaders.
Time Consuming Process
The process from planning to commissioning takes 6 – 12
months on average and is difficult to predict with confidence.
Hidden Costs
Over half the cost of a deployment goes to the process,
including planning, consulting, site prep, etc.
Cooling Capacity
Computing generates too much heat for the existing
infrastructure, requiring additional cooling capacity.
Power Upgrades
New compute technologies may require more
power than the current facility can handle.
Management
IT distributed across multiple sites and from different vendors
is very challenging for IT teams to manage efficiently.
Sustainability
With energy costs and demand both rising at the Edge,
the pressure is on to find more sustainable technologies.
i Did you know that 60% of network outages
are related to power or cooling?

How Vertiv™ Solutions
Simplify Deployment
Pre-engineered systems simplify edge deployments
with a repeatable and scalable solution, enabling
business agility for future growth.
Accelerate Deployments
Accelerate the deployment process by reducing planning, build,
and overall deployment time.
Reduce Costs
Reduce costs associated with planning, construction and
renovation and make the budget for the project more predictable.
Integrated Cooling
Many solutions offer integrated cooling and containment to
maximize cooling capacity and energy efficiency in the space.
Pre-Integrated Power Distribution
Solutions can include Busway, UPS battery backup, surge
protection, and pre-integrated power distribution to IT rack
enclosures to simplify installation and commissioning.
Remote Management
Standardized, single-vendor solutions include remote
management options to simplify environments.
Contained In-Row Cooling
Contained systems with dedicated cooling are proven to reduce
cooling energy use and carbon emissions by as much as 30%.

It is Time to Rethink the Traditional Process
Traditional Room Build
Complex Process
Months of planning, design,
procurement, legal permitting, and
consulting go into creating custom
designs for a room build or upgrade. It
takes months for each deployment, and
each room is typically repeated all over
again for every location.
