Dell NativeEdge works across heterogeneous technology environments to consolidate existing and new edge use cases using an open design.
Features
The Edge Scenarios
Deploy and manage application workloads across edge, core, or cloud via a single platform
Consolidate disparate infrastructure layers and silos into one platform, including an existing application delivery pipeline
Continue to use existing legacy edge investment by integrating it with the platform while using it to modernize and move faster
Enable multicloud connectivity across the edge estate using a single platform
Stay competitive with the right technologies without onboarding multiple siloed solutions
Leverage pre-validated ISV applications that serve specific use cases such as computer vision, Digital Twin, and more
Onboard your in-house developed applications onto a secure, centralized catalog and deploy them consistently using blueprints
Use existing legacy hardware, external clouds, and external HCI stacks for application/workload deployment while still modernizing edge estate
Gain the benefits of automated application/workload orchestration and management onto existing hardware
Integrate workload orchestration across new or existing multicloud environments
Integrate with your existing tools and applications using the platform's open APIs
Retailers have applications running across the continuum from edge to cloud depending on the use case
Applications such as loss prevention run locally but use storage in the cloud
Retailers have a need to consolidate the management of the pieces on one platform because they struggle to integrate many different control planes making up their solution portfolio
New technologies are available that retailers would like to take advantage of, such as the autonomous store
Innovative technologies are often separate technology silos with their own management framework
Retailers will have a reduced learning curve with a single technology platform
Manufacturers have a very diverse mix of hardware and application profiles that are often packed together in silos and provided by a mix of 3rd party vendors
There is a need to consolidate workloads and hardware profiles to ensure optimized utilization of edge estate assets
Manufacturing plants often have many proprietary applications that are used for very specific functions
Being able to deploy these from a centralized catalog of applications and blueprints provides manufacturers with the ability to pick new technologies as needed
Manufacturing will benefit from ISV applications that have been validated on the platform and are consumable from a public catalog
Assurance to modernize while not needing to onboard a new platform
There is a large amount of legacy hardware which is still in use but is not economical for the stakeholder to discard
Advantage of automated application/workload orchestration
