Learn about the software-defined edge from Sanjay Uppal
The software-defined edge is undergoing rapid transformation as companies modernize their infrastructure while simultaneously creating monetizable services on top of that infrastructure. Organizations are looking for solutions that bring low latency, autonomous operations, and intelligence to their edge operations. Edge AI is a critical part of this transformation that is revolutionizing industries including manufacturing, retail, energy and defense.
To support this evolution, robust infrastructure is essential, and the solution lies in the software-defined edge. It sits at the convergence of compute, security, programmability, and connectivity, forming the critical foundation for edge workloads. As these workloads become integral to business operations, ensuring their reliable performance and availability is crucial. Our comprehensive software-defined edge stack is designed to meet these demands, providing the reliability and resilience necessary for both current and future IT and OT success.
VMware Edge Compute Stack, an edge-optimized runtime and orchestration platform, simplifies edge complexity, enabling efficient deployment and operation of generative AI, computer vision, and machine learning applications at scale to improve business operations. VMware business leaders will share updates on recent and upcoming capabilities within VMware Edge Compute Stack and VMware Edge Cloud Orchestrator.
