What is Edge Computing?

Edge computing describes a physical computing infrastructure intentionally located outside the four walls of a traditional data center, so storage and compute resources can be placed where they are needed.

In other words, running critical applications outside the four walls of your data center.

Edge Case Study

“Scale Computing HC3 Edge delivered the

stability, support and simplicity we needed

to modernize our stores with IoT for

optimizing freezing, heating and the

customer experience. Their solution also

outclassed the competition on total cost of

ownership and simplicity.”

- Rolf Vanden Eynde,

Manager of Strategic Infrastructure Planning at Delhaize

Since deploying the HC3 Edge platform on Lenovo servers, Delhaize has also reduced management time by 75%

and improved recovery time by 99.9%

• The company needed a complete infrastructure refresh to

replace aging hardware

• The existing IT infrastructure was costly and resource

intensive to manage

• There was a need to improve in-store IT security

• There was a growing need to support higher SLAs for critical

workloads

• Improving disaster recovery was essential

• The organization needed to future proof its IT environment

with the ability to scale out on demand
