In this episode of the VMblog Expert Video Interview Series, we spoke
with Julian Chesterfield of
Sunlight, a developer of virtualization
technology for data-intensive applications.
Quick background. Sunlight makes performance possible anywhere - from
the cloud to the edge. Sunlight's HCI stack makes applications like AI,
Big Data, Analytics and Rendering run 3x faster compared to legacy
virtualization, and because Sunlight has a tiny footprint - it's perfect
for the edge.
Watch this video interview to learn more as Chesterfield kicks things
off with a great explanation on Sunlight and their technology, and then
provides a deeper dive into HCI and how hyperconvergence is different
from the data center to the edge. Hear how Sunlight differs from and is
unique when compared to VMware or Nutanix, especially when it comes to
HCI at the edge. And if you haven't been exposed to Sunlight Nexvisor yet,
this is a great place to start.
