MobiledgeX, Inc.
has released MobiledgeX Edge-Cloud R2.0 for the enterprise edge, powering
seamless private and public edge cloud integration to allow developers to
deploy location-specific services. With more than 100 application developer
applications already using MobiledgeX Edge-Cloud R1.0, MobiledgeX's latest
release adds key enterprise capabilities, addressing the emerging needs of
enterprises that are deploying edge-enabled cloud applications.
MobiledgeX
Edge-Cloud R2.0 aggregates edge processing power across multiple enterprise
on-premise and telecom network locations, and presents them through one common
interface that application developers and independent software vendors (ISVs)
use to design, deploy and manage their applications. It enables businesses to
manage their digital operation seamlessly across distributed locations
independent of underlying network ownership or systems. Any containerized or
virtualized applications developed in a public cloud that has low latency, offload,
location or data ownership requirements can take advantage of the Edge-Cloud
R2.0 console to onboard and deploy seamlessly to either and/or both public and
private edge locations.
Edge-Cloud R2.0
is featured in a GSMA industry-wide edge network initiative announced today: "Telecom Operators Collaborate to Build the Telco Edge Cloud
Platform with GSMA Support." Participants in the initiative include China
Unicom, Deutsche Telekom, EE, KDDI, Orange, Singtel, SK Telecom, Telefonica,
TIM and MobilegeX.
"Edge Cloud
has an exciting potential to enable and enhance many innovative experiences for
our customers. I welcome this operator initiative to take ownership of the edge
opportunity by joining forces to deliver our capabilities in a federated edge
service," said Claudia Nemat, board member technology and innovation at
Deutsche Telekom. "Leveraging MobiledgeX as a platform partner and
aggregator in the federation puts operators on the best track to create scale,
bring in the developer community and make a market impact."
To
support the rapidly developing enterprise and telecom edge market, MobiledgeX
Edge-Cloud R2.0 includes the following key capabilities:
- Edge-Cloud Console for management, operation,
and understanding of edge operations
- Distributed public
(operator, cloud) and private (enterprise) infrastructure onboarding,
monitoring, and management, supporting heterogeneous operation through a single pane of
glass
- Declarative policy-driven
deployments
allowing ISV applications to be deployed to both public and private
enterprise/regions, with seamless failover to enable high availability
- Security and privacy-centric
deployments
to provide the ability to execute policy controls in application data at
specified location(s)
"Without the battle-tested, scalable, secure compute and
communications infrastructure of MobiledgeX Edge-Cloud R2.0, industrial
engineers would be constrained and limited by outdated cloud and networking
solutions," explained Rick Haythornthwaite, chairman, and co-founder of QiO.
"Working with MobiledgeX, we provide industrial engineers with the power of
AI-infused applications and digital software toolkits to push the limits of
their data, analytics and user experiences."
"We are engineering a mobile revolution in safety for the transportation
industry," said Erik Goldman, CEO of Sfara. "MobiledgeX Edge-Cloud R2.0
delivers our engineers a federated control channel and policy-based deployment
so we can provide autonomous vehicles with a suite of trusted services from
driver analytics and mobile safety to security and assurance."
"Unlike cloud execution,
which is designed to appear infinite and ‘somewhere else,' edge execution is
location-specific, finite in terms of per location resources, and requiring a
multi-vendor, multi-cloud, multi-access solution. The MobiledgeX Edge Cloud
design is based on maximizing control, choice, and trust from the perspective
of all participants: the application owner, the business customer and the
infrastructure operator," said Sunay Tripathi, chief technology officer,
MobiledgeX.
