Edgehog Day is sponsored by F5 and VMware with participation from industry analysts AvidThink and Analysys Mason along with edge computing leaders from Aerospike, Blacknut, Broadpeak, BT, BTP, CBRE, Cockroach Labs, Edgevana, F5, Hardis, HashiCorp, HarperDB, KX, LF Edge, Spherics, SWIM, VMware, VMO2, Vodafone Business, and ZEDEDA.
“The edge is a core part of VMware’s strategy enabling enterprises to deliver and monetize new services to customers, accelerating their digital transformation,” stated Stephen Spellicy, VP of marketing, Service Provider and Edge Business Unit, VMware. “As part of our comprehensive edge ecosystem, Ori partners with VMware to enable ISVs to create innovative new edge applications on our consistent multi-cloud infrastructure, simplifying the management and provisioning of these applications to customers, and abstracting the deep complexity and dynamics necessitated by this new frontier. The Marketplace will play a critical role in allowing service providers and enterprises to discover, test, deploy, monitor and manage edge applications through a frictionless process and accelerate the adoption of edge computing.”
“We are excited to be a part of Edgehog Day. We see this as an excellent opportunity to explore opportunities today at the edge and engage in conversations about the promise of edge tomorrow,” said Geng Lin, F5 CTO. “Edge is not emerging, but it is evolving, and we look forward to being a part of it.”
“We are delighted to participate in Edgehog Day and contribute to explaining to the market the value proposition of edge computing,” commented Yann Begassat, business development director, 5G & Edge at Broadpeak. “In the fast-growing market of video streaming, Broadpeak’s area of expertise, quality comes with proximity. Therefore, the development of video delivery functions at the edge is becoming crucial.”
“Distributed ledger technology (DLT) and edge computing have a complementary relationship. With recent advances, it is now possible to host DLT nodes at the edge, enabling a truly open, decentralized future. Therefore, as an enterprise DLT company, we are delighted to participate in the launch of the Ori Global Edge Marketplace,” said Duncan Johnston-Watt, co-founder and CEO of BTP.
