Local power, global potential: the future needs edge computing
In today’s interconnected world, the demand for real-time data processing is reshaping the digital landscape. From remote surgical procedures in healthcare to optimising crop yields through precision agriculture, many modern applications rely on instantaneous data analysis.
Traditional centralised data centres, while powerful, are often too distant to meet the ultra-low latency these use cases demand. That’s where edge computing steps in, transforming how and where data is processed.
What is edge computing?
Edge computing brings computational power closer to where data is generated—at the network’s edge. Instead of sending all data to a centralised facility for processing, edge solutions analyse and act on data locally. This decentralised model reduces latency, conserves bandwidth, and ensures that critical operations can proceed uninterrupted.
The implications for this approach are profound, with Edge computing enabling real-time capabilities in industries such as healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing, retail, and many more.
Why edge computing matters
As AI adoption accelerates, the volume of data generated at the edge is skyrocketing. According to STL Consulting, up to 50% of AI workloads will occur at the network edge by 2028. This shift reflects the growing demand for applications that depend on real-time decision-making, minimal latency, and localised computing power.
At Latos, we understand that meeting these demands requires more than technical solutions—it demands bold thinking and a commitment to reimagining what’s possible. Guided by our values of sustainability, innovation, and care, we’re paving the way for a data-driven future that works for everyone.
Enabling the edge revolution
Our modular, scalable approach to edge data centres is designed to overcome the challenge of bringing computing power closer to end users. Latos is empowering businesses to unlock the full potential of edge computing in four key ways:
Tailored solutions: Our edge facilities are purpose-built to meet the unique needs of industries embracing AI, IoT, and other data-intensive technologies.
Scalability: Our modular approach ensures rapid deployment and seamless expansion, allowing businesses to scale without limits or delays.
Sustainability: Like all Latos facilities, our edge data centres are designed with renewable energy and energy efficiency in mind, reducing their environmental impact while maximising performance.
High security standards: With advanced monitoring and security systems, we ensure that localised processing doesn’t come at the expense of data protection.
A global shift with local benefits
The move to edge computing isn’t just about speed and efficiency. It’s also about resilience, ensuring that businesses remain operational even in the face of connectivity challenges. By decentralising their computing resources, organisations can reduce dependence on single points of failure and ensure continuity in critical operations.
Edge computing also supports the development of smarter, more connected communities. With localised facilities, regions gain access to advanced digital infrastructure—enabling innovation and economic growth at a local level.
Building the future, one edge at a time
At Latos, we aren’t just building data centres—we’re shaping the future of how data is processed, analysed, and acted upon. With creativity, courage, and compassion, we’re crafting future-ready solutions that empower businesses to build the next generation of their industries. We’re proud to be at the forefront of this revolution, turning bold ideas into practical, impactful realities.
