First-generation ThinkEdge/edge boxes: SE350 on a Xeon D-2100 SoC, SE450 on a 3rd Gen Xeon 'Ice Lake' socket. Ruggedised, short-depth, wide-temperature designs built to run outside a data centre. Buy these on environmental and connectivity spec (wide temp range, wireless/LTE, DC power, NEBS-3) and GPU support as much as raw compute — that is what separates an edge box from a shortened rack server.
The cost nobody budgets
R 715 a month in electricity.
A configured SE450 draws about 350 W around the clock — 255 kWh a month, R 715 at R2.80/kWh, and R 25 740 over three years. Put it next to the purchase price, and size the UPS for it before it arrives.
