WD Ultrastar Edge-MR Ruggedized Edge Server

Western Digital Ultrastar® Edge-MR is a militarized and ruggedized high-performance edge server that enables organizations to deploy remote data capture and analytics at the cloud edge. Processing data closer to where it is generated reduces the latency associated with sending data from a remote location to the core for processing. Remote processing reduces the amount of traffic on network backbones, delivers onsite analytics, and enables faster decision making.

The ability to have low-latency processing in remote locations can also enable innovation. Organizations can deliver data center cloud-like services even when a network connection may be insecure, intermittent, or non-existent. The server has 40 cores, a GPU, 512GiB of memory, and over 60TB of Ultrastar NVMe flash storage, so applications that normally run on Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) environments can easily be run remotely.
