00:00So micro data center is actually the terminology for something in terms of technology-wise that maximizes small power.
00:10So anything between 1 to 3.2 to 3.6 to 1.
00:14When you look at micro data center solutions, in itself, when you look at the system and the attractiveness in
00:24terms of the positioning, it's mostly for edge facilities.
00:27So faster deployment, branch implementation, something that you can roll in, use existing power, nothing that you have to plan
00:35for, and then be able to deliver resilient, monitored, and powerful tool to manage your IT systems.
00:46So micro data center as a technology is an all-in-one system.
00:50So putting standardization as a priority in building facilities moving forward, micro data center is actually a perfect tool.
01:01So similar to what Canovate is providing, this is something that you can roll in, something that you can develop,
01:07expand.
01:08And then, of course, in terms of delivering the promise, it's something that you can roll in much quicker, much
01:14faster.
01:15Okay, sir.
01:16Sir, so do you think micro data centers can realistically operate in rural or off-grid areas in the Philippines?
01:24Oh, yeah, definitely.
01:26Because when you look at rural and off-grid facilities, let's say, when you talk about areas wherein electricity starts,
01:35data centers are quite complicated in terms of the functionality, monitorability, and, of course, the management of IT facilities.
01:46Micro data centers are rolling systems, all-in-one, incompatible, so something that can be delivered as a whole system.
01:54So micro data centers can be plugged, and then, at the end of the day, get the benefit.
01:58So micro data centers is actually something really positioned for rural and unique areas that need power protection, stabilization, and,
02:11of course, IT systems.
02:13So, sir, last question.
02:15Do you think it is time for the national and local government units to switch to micro data centers like
02:21Canovate, especially the LGU?
02:24That's a very good question.
02:25My take is that when you look at empowering the LGU, when you look at types of technology, micro data
02:32centers such as Canovate is something that they need to look at.
02:35It's something that empowers them to actually deliver services, allows them to manage systems better.
02:42At the end of the day, in terms of cost standardized, in terms of management standardized, in terms of all
02:49-in, end of the day, very quick, faster implementation, the LGU gets the benefit.
02:55And then, looking at also edge facility, edge facilities are somewhat something that will not die.
03:02Because at the end of the day, big data, compute, you will need, or end users will still need the
03:08ability to manage their own IT infrastructure.
03:10So, micro data center facility or IT facilities like this will definitely benefit it.
03:16Sir, how about the supporting factors like this one, the Canovate?
03:22For example, since micro data centers na siya, from my point of understanding, paano siya mag-operate?
03:30For example, there's in-power interruptions like mentioned earlier.
03:34Are there cloud supports, something like that?
03:37No, no.
03:37So, when you look at infrastructure, there are specific elements that you have to have for a data center.
03:44Racking system would be number one.
03:46Power, cooling, distribution, fire, security, and access.
03:55So, ultimately, these are things that you have to think about.
03:58Your question is primarily power protection.
04:01So, having a UPS as part of a micro data center facility with all the elements gives you that ability
04:09to manage much better.
04:11So, having a UPS, having a redundant system UPS gives you that edge, gives you that protection.
04:17Similar with cooling.
04:18So, cooling already attached to the rack allows you to better manage the cooling and requirements of the IT systems
04:24that go inside.
04:25So, a lot of these elements have to be present when you talk about data center solutions.
04:30And the micro data center system that kind of it just provides you with all of that in-compassing with
04:35one specific rack cabinet solution that can be rolled in.
04:39Thank you so much.
05:09You
