GAO’s Regional Data Center Edge refers to a localized facility designed to deliver data processing, storage, and management services closer to end-users within a specific geographic area. These data centers are strategically positioned to enhance network performance by reducing latency and improving speed for data-intensive applications. They play a crucial role in supporting edge computing initiatives, where computing resources are distributed closer to data sources. This setup is particularly beneficial for applications requiring real-time processing, such as IoT, streaming services, and autonomous systems. By leveraging regional data center edges, organizations can achieve greater operational efficiency, better user experiences, and increased resilience against network disruptions.
The Regional Data Center Edge may also be called: Edge Data Center, Local Data Center, Regional Edge Facility, Edge Computing Node, Regional Processing Hub, Distributed Data Center, Micro Data Center, Edge Network Hub, Proximity Data Center, and Edge Data Hub.
