Well datacenter are one potential target you might not have thought of.

But there are challenges, which is why a new partnership between Florida-based space startup OrbitsEdge and Hewlett Packard Enterprises (HPE) makes a lot of sense.

The partnership will make OrbitsEdge a hardware supplier for HPE’s Edgeline Converged Edge Systems, and basically it means that the space startup will be handling everything required to “harden” the standard HPE micro-datacenter equipment for use in outer space.

That process can be expensive, and difficult to source in terms of even finding companies and infrastructure to use.

As with in-space manufacturing, doing things locally could save a lot of overhead and unlock tons of potential down the line. | To read full story, visit https://startuparound.com/read/1575405007.181174/OrbitsEdge-partners-with-HPE-on-orbital-datacenter-computing-and-analytics-–-TechCrunch?ref=audio_experience
