As AI, edge computing, and environmental and social responsibility reshape the digital landscape, organisations must rethink how they design, deploy, and manage infrastructure. Co-authored by Vertiv, a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, and Onnec, experts in network integration and end-to-end connectivity, this eBook explores how to overcome the challenges standing in the way of scalable, high-performance edge data centre deployments.

Together, we explore the five key forces redefining the future of data centres:

1. AI-Driven Infrastructure Demands

AI is pushing traditional data centres to their limits. Learn how to meet escalating power and cooling needs with advanced technologies that support high-density workloads.

2. The Rise of the Edge

As digital services move closer to end users, edge computing is becoming mission-critical. Discover how to deploy compact, resilient, and intelligent edge infrastructure—faster and at scale.

3. Energy Use and Efficiency

With growing pressure to reduce environmental impact, efficiency is now a critical focus. See how Vertiv and Onnec help lower energy consumption while maintaining high levels of uptime and performance.

4. Standardisation and Modularity

Speed and scalability are non-negotiable. Explore how prefabricated and repeatable infrastructure designs enable agile, cost-effective rollouts—especially at the edge.

5. Ecosystem Collaboration

Solving today’s complex infrastructure challenges requires close coordination between technology partners, consultants, and end users. This eBook showcases how Vertiv and Onnec are enabling that collaboration through integrated, future-ready solutions.

Designed for data centre operators, IT leaders, and infrastructure planners, this eBook offers practical insights to help you navigate the complexity of modern digital infrastructure—and stay ahead of what's next.
