VMware Edge Compute Stack is recognized for its exceptional innovation in simplifying edge operations through features like zero-touch orchestration and scalable management. “Receiving this award highlights our commitment to helping customers utilize IoT devices and AI at the edge to further their business goals,” said Saadat Malik, VP and General Manager of VMware by Broadcom’s Edge Computing Business.
Powering AI at the edge
Data from IoT devices power AI applications at retail stores, factories and other edge sites to improve efficiency, lower costs, and delight customers with new experiences. Deploying AI at the edge, close to where IoT data is produced, cuts costs and speeds up decision-making. However, managing the edge is challenging due to scale, inconsistent network connectivity, and limited IT resources.
VMware Edge Compute Stack simplifies the edge so organizations can focus on their business goals. Edge Compute Stack is an edge compute and orchestration platform that features Zero Touch provisioning and lifecycle management of apps and infrastructure, removing the complexity of incorporating AI at the edge. It also includes VMware Edge Intelligence to provide visibility and analytics of IoT devices, and management by VMware Edge Cloud Orchestrator.
