ETIX EVERYWHERE intelligence to autonomous driving , those are going to require eye-watering amounts of data , which has to be good news for data centre operators ?
Blanchot agrees , but reckons it is a little bit of a ‘ chicken-and-egg ’ situation – the technology cannot really take off until the capacity is there to enable it .
“ We discuss this a lot with our customers , and urge them to think about the world tomorrow ,” he says . “ I can tell you that all the main telcos understood it well and see these trends coming .
“ When we started Etix in 2012 and began investing in edge , I think it was a little early , but now the market is ready . There are more and more investors trying to develop huge platforms to invest in edge , because this is the future .”
If this is indeed the future , you can bet that Etix Everywhere will be there , leading from the front when it comes to edge data centres . aimagazine . com 159
