Dell NativeEdge
Simplify operations at scale
Go BackDell NativeEdge leverages automation and centralized management to streamline management of the expanding edge estate, with consistency and at scale
Automate onboarding and provisioning to operate the edge with minimal IT intervention
Leverage a single interface to migrate and consolidate workloads, as VM and containers, across the edge estate
Set up continuous monitoring to visualize the hardware deployed at any location and identify when it needs maintenance
Deploy application workloads in bulk across the edge estate from a secure catalog, using blueprints
Simply plug in the network cable and power on the NativeEdge Endpoint
The platform automatically validates the integrity of the edge hardware
The NativeEdge OS ensures cyber-resilient security for everything on these edge devices, without any IT intervention
Once the security check is complete, the NativeEdge Endpoint is ready for workload deployment and can be lifecycle-managed remotely from a single user interface
Streamline consistent deployment of application workloads across the edge estate
Easily set up bulk deployment operations across the edge estate wholly or by a defined region
Automate application/workload deployments using pre-configured blueprints
Absence of centralized way to deploy, manage, and monitor applications across the entire edge estate
Without centralized management, there is ineffective knowledge about the state of the entire edge estate in aggregate which includes hardware and deployed applications/workloads
Due to the disparate and geo-distributed nature of retail locations, the applications/workloads and hardware LCM retailers need a way to standardize edge estate across their locations
A traffic counter, POS system, surveillance NVR, or digital sign CMS are often deployed with varying grades and configurations of hardware
The equipment frequently doesn’t integrate into IT’s management consoles
The hardware provided also rarely aligns to the retailer’s own hardware refresh cycles
Absence of centralized way to deploy, manage, and monitor applications across the entire edge estate
Without centralized management, there is ineffective knowledge about the state of the entire edge estate in aggregate which includes hardware and deployed applications/workloads
Manufacturers need a simple, reliable, and repeatable way to deploy workloads to edge estate
OT operators are often most skilled in areas outside of traditional IT; IT operations need to be abstracted away so that OT can operate seamlessly
Often, 3rd party vendors provide an application and an opinionated piece of hardware to run on that application
