The challenge.
Bringing up an edge location joins many decisions: compute, virtualisation, management, network connectivity, security, power and the physical environment. The work must arrive as an operable whole.
Why Neurulus fit.
GTPL needed a complete environment in which to evaluate its edge workload. Neurulus joined compute with virtualisation, cybersecurity, management, networking and physical support. The proof of concept gave the customer a defined system to evaluate as a whole, including the operating dependencies around the compute node.
How the platform addressed it.
Neurulus deployed the FlexEdge integrated micro data centre for GTPL Hathway’s proof of concept. A 64-core compute node with 256 GB of memory and 2 TB of solid-state storage sat within a wider stack of virtualisation, management, network monitoring and cybersecurity.
Core switching, a firewall, rack, power backup, fire suppression and console equipment supported the operating environment. Integration, configuration, testing and commissioning established the combined proof-of-concept deployment that GTPL could evaluate against its edge requirement.
In the deployment
- FlexEdge integrated micro data centre stack.
- Compute node with 64 processing cores, 256 GB memory and 2 TB solid-state storage.
- Management, virtualisation, network management and monitoring.
- Core switching, firewall, rack, power backup, fire suppression and console equipment.
- Integration, configuration, testing and commissioning.
The outcome.
GTPL gained an integrated environment in which to evaluate the edge workload. Compute and software were commissioned with the networking, security and physical infrastructure needed around them.
