Spectro
Cloud announced it has been identified as a Cool Vendor
in the "Cool Vendors in Edge Computing" report by Gartner, Inc, first
published on May 23
rd, 2022. Gartner identifies four vendors in the 2022 Cool Vendors report.
Spectro
Cloud's Palette platform enables organizations to deploy, manage and
innovate with Kubernetes at scale, without having to choose between
control and flexibility. Palette's Edge edition is a result of extending
the core Palette platform to meet the specific needs of edge solution
delivery and management across thousands of locations.
Edge
is a prime growth area for Kubernetes-based applications, but is
challenging for organizations to manage because of the sheer number of
locations, often in the thousands or tens of thousands, and lack of
Kubernetes skills or even generic IT skills on-site. Edge locations may
also have limited compute resources and often unreliable connectivity,
presenting an additional challenge.
Palette
Edge directly addresses those challenges and offers unified management
for unsupervised edge locations based on a unique decentralized
architecture. With Palette, edge Kubernetes locations can use any
Kubernetes distribution and pre-validated combination of open source or
commercial packs, empowering development teams to support diverse
application requirements in a repeatable model. Palette Edge makes the
economics of edge work for organizations by eliminating the need for
field engineer visits and streamlining every operational step from day 0
to day 2.
"We
believe our inclusion in the Cool Vendors report by Gartner reflects
the need for an easier and very importantly a more cost-efficient way
for organizations to deploy and manage thousands of locations without
having to be experts in Kubernetes," said Tenry Fu, Spectro Cloud
co-founder and CEO. "The innovation we are seeing coming out of real
industry use cases is impressive and we are committed to continuously
supporting our customers and making Kubernetes and its ecosystem more
accessible and manageable."
We
believe this recognition - along with Spectro Cloud's recent Series B
funding round close - reaffirms the growing market momentum around
Kubernetes, and our vision of Kubernetes management at scale.
