Gain an Edge with VMware Edge Compute Stack

More organizations want to deploy applications out at the edge, close to where data is generated and consumed. Yet edge environments bring fundamentally different challenges than traditional cloud or data center deployments. Organizations must overcome constrained hardware resources, deploy behind private networks, and manage assets across thousands of sites—all while preserving agility via tried-and-true DevOps processes like GitOps and infrastructure-as-code (IaC). 

Join us to learn how VMware Edge Compute Stack and VMware Edge Cloud Orchestrator (VECO) helps organizations overcome all of these challenges. We’ll share specific use cases and demos, and show how this purpose-built edge solution benefits end customers and partners alike.

Virtualizing the shop floor to enable industry 4.0

By 2025, Gartner predicts that nearly 50% of enterprise data will be generated at the edge. As edge use cases proliferate, manufacturers must find new strategies to manage this sprawl. 

How can you implement the edge intelligence needed to enable new use cases at distributed manufacturing sites with limited IT resources? How will you manage applications when standard push-based administration won’t work? How can you guarantee the right connectivity to those edge locations, with the right performance, when connectivity parameters are dynamic? Join this session to explore answers to these questions, and others, and learn how to scale your manufacturing edge.
