Experts will discuss how creating a digital twin to test deployments and capacity-saving scenarios can transform the engineering and operations of Edge Computing
AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Future Facilities, provider of design and capacity planning software for data centers, announced today that they will discuss the concept of creating a digital twin when deploying edge data centers at Edge2018, taking place October 24-25 at the Palmer Events Center in Austin, TX.
Due to the proliferation of connected devices and autonomous vehicles, as well as the demand for low latency on streaming video, edge computing has dramatically increased. To help aid the seamless development of edge data centers, Future Facilities’ representatives will demonstrate how using their digital twin can enhance the design and operations of edge data centers.
At Booth #5, Future Facilities’ virtual reality platform will be on display, providing show attendees with a virtual tour of an edge facility model. These digital twins enable edge developers and operators to test the impact of changes without the risks associated with physical implementation in a production environment. Using a digital twin to test high-density deployments and capacity-saving scenarios enables operators to make informed decisions with confidence.
Future Facilities has been working with leading edge developer Vapor IO which, through Project Volutus, is building the world’s largest network of distributed edge data centers; enabling cloud providers, wireless carriers and web-scale companies to deliver cloud-based edge computing applications via a network of micro data centers.
“Future Facilities is looking forward to showing how the digital twin can be used in edge data centers to maintain optimal operations – from design through its entire lifecycle,” said Akhil Docca, Director of Marketing, Future Facilities. “With the proliferation of connected devices and intense bandwidth demands, the operational integrity of edge data centers needs to be at the forefront. Having a virtual prototype is key to ensuring this.”
