When people think about the data center, they always think that in a very large building. There are a lot of cabinets neatly arranged, cabinets filled with servers, and servers are shining positive light. It looks cool.

A data center is a dedicated space within a building, or a group of buildings used to house computer systems and associated components, such as telecommunications and storage systems.

What is Micro Data Center?

Micro data center is a small version of conventional data center. Typically, most micro data centers have the same components as data centers (including cooling, power, IT equipment and other facilities) – but these are integrated into one or more cabinet-sized units.

Micro data centers can be deployed on their own, and at the edges of network in small offices, warehouses, smart factories and other remote sites for local data storage and communication. More often they are part of the architecture of large data centers, depending on the actual business needs of an enterprise organization.

It is expected that the global market for micro data centers will grow to $14.5 billion by 2025 [source].

More and more enterprises are using micro data centers to deploy edge computing applications. As the computing power moves from cloud to edge, and from centralized connectivity architecture to distributed connectivity architecture, the micro data centers are playing a significant role in the transition.

At the same time, many organizations are busy actively consolidating their large and complex data center deployments to reduce costs, and simplify the management of the data center. Having the micro data center as a supplemental infrastructure to the central data center is a practical strategy for most of the business.
