VMware Discloses Its Edge Computing FutureCategory: Business, Data
VMware Tanzu sponsored this article for The New Stack. The scope of its plans was revealed in the announcement of its ambitions for VMware Edge, an offering it introduced during its VMworld conference this month for those organizations struggling to manage multiple infrastructures, especially complex multicloud and distributed environments.
A key feature of VMware Edge is a VMware-created stack consisting of a virtual machine (VM) and container-based stack, offering DevOps teams the ability to manage and secure edge-native apps at the far edge (VMware defines “far edge” as devices and data that are located on the customer’s premises).
VMware said it also has plans to develop a lightweight version of VMware Edge Compute Stack to provide what it says is “an extremely thin edge” for lightweight apps. The VMware Edge stack covers the entire spectrum of edge infrastructure and scales across many different locations, said Sanjay Uppal, senior vice president and general manager for VMware’s service provider and edge departments.
