Edge Datacenter
An edge datacenter is a smaller facility located close to end-users for low-latency applications.
Definition
An edge datacenter is a smaller, distributed datacenter facility located close to end-users or data sources, designed to reduce latency and bandwidth costs for applications that require real-time processing. Edge datacenters typically range from 100kW to 1MW in capacity, vs 10-100MW for hyperscale facilities. Use cases include: 5G mobile edge computing, IoT data processing, autonomous vehicles, real-time AI inference. Harch Corp plans edge datacenters in Casablanca, Rabat, and Marrakech to complement its hyperscale hubs.
