“Would you like to play a game?” asks the beige, boxy computer, with cheerfully glowing blue text in all-caps, vaguely like the Cheshire Cat with monochrome teeth. Matthew Broderick, once again playing the naïve adventurer, responds by dialing up global thermonuclear war, and ends up penetrating America’s missile defense network.

THE RACE TO THE EDGE:
Have hyperscale, will travel: How the next data center revolution starts in a toolshed
The race to the edge, part 1: Where we discover the form factor for a portable, potentially hyperscale data center, small enough to fit in the service shed beside a cell phone tower, multiplied by tens of thousands.
A data center with wings? The cloud isn’t dead because the edge is portable
The race to the edge, part 2: Where we come across drones that swarm around tanker trucks like bees, and discover why they need their own content delivery network.
Edge, core, and cloud: Where all the workloads go
The race to the edge, part 4: Where we are introduced to chunks of data centers bolted onto the walls of control sheds at a wind farm, and we study the problem of how all those turbines are collected into one cloud.
It’s a race to the edge, and the end of cloud computing as we know it
Our whirlwind tour of the emerging edge in data centers makes this much clear: As distributed computing evolves, there’s less and less for us to comfortably ignore.
