Avassa and Sunlight are partnering to build a software stack for secure, efficient, and easy management of edge environments
Sunlight.io, a provider of edge-native software infrastructure solutions, and Avassa, a provider of an edge orchestration platform will create a complete software stack, making edge environments secure, efficient, and easy for application teams to manage, it’s claimed. Such environments can include retail stores, hospitals, factories, call centres, or any other premises where data processing happens locally and compute resources are distributed across a large number of locations.
Avassa CTO Carl Moberg said that to succeed with edge computing initiatives, robust infrastructure was needed to run your applications and an efficient tool for orchestration and monitoring of those applications.
“Combining our application-centric edge orchestration platform with Sunlight’s state-of-the-art hypervisor solutions, enterprises get a solid and secure edge orchestration solution built to delight application teams — and strengthen their innovation power through edge initiatives”, he said.
Today, a majority of enterprises within a variety of industries have certain workloads running in distributed environments. In particular, edge computing projects are common within verticals such as retail, manufacturing, energy, hospitality, public sector, logistics, banking, and real estate. Avassa and Sunlight can together provide a solution for running and managing the edge infrastructure and applications in an efficient, secure, and reliable manner.
Sunlight Chief Strategy Officer Andy Brewerton said: “In an ideal world, enterprises would both be able to order, ship and power on their edge computing infrastructure ‘as a service’ while also easily deploying and managing their applications from a central, remote location. Partnering with Avassa makes this edge application orchestration possible at scale.”
