Applications

Edge servers prioritize High-Performance Computing (HPC) to handle complex or large-scale computations at high speeds, boosting the processing capabilities of applications. HPC solutions for edge servers often utilize cluster-computing architectures, connecting multiple nodes with CPUs or GPUs to perform parallel computing. Another popular solution is Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI), which converges servers, storage, networks, and hardware with virtualization software into a single chassis. HCI can expand its performance and capacity by adding nodes to clusters based on computing and storage needs.

Edge servers are pivotal in 5G applications, often termed MEC (Multi-Access Edge Computing) servers. As a 5G network architecture, MEC shifts cloud computing and IT services to the network's edge, enabling direct access to data and computing resources via cellular towers. This approach reduces core network loads, ensures low-latency and high-reliability services, and supports essential user equipment (UE) functions like authentication, mobility, and roaming. By incorporating micro data center capabilities with substantial storage capacity, MEC servers localize data and applications, minimizing latency and reducing bandwidth demands.

SSDs from Solid State Storage Technology Corporation (SSSTC) are instrumental in realizing low-latency for edge servers, delivering enhanced performance for real-time applications. With superior read and write speeds over traditional HDDs, they efficiently handle large data loads. Equipped with advanced LDPC ECC technology, SSSTC SSDs ensure precise error correction during high-speed transmission, improving data accuracy and access reliability, making them ideal for critical edge computing needs.
