Edge Networking

What is Edge Networking?

Edge Networking is Cloudify's open source edge networking, orchestration, and automation solution that enables organizations to connect their headquarters to multiple branch offices in multiple locations by deploying and managing full lifecycles of software-defined networking (SDN) solutions, CPEs, and other multi-access edge devices.

Automation at the network edge

Many organizations are deploying new capabilities in branch offices using Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) and IoT devices that require automation at the edge of the network, necessitating edge computing solutions. The move to the edge adds new challenges that make traditional network automation practices obsolete as they don't fit the scale or latency requirements of a network that now has new software and cutting-edge devices. Cloudify meets these requirements through open source architecture with next-generation cloud-native services to effortlessly manage distributed containers on physical servers or in the cloud. This architecture enables organizations to integrate new and existing generations of network infrastructure into a common automation scheme.

Key features

Open Edge architecture

Edge Networking's open source architecture with next-generation cloud-native services effortlessly manages distributed containers on physical servers or in the cloud.

Federated network architecture

Edge Networking supports large-scale deployments through centralized management – so all infrastructures can meet the scale and latency requirements of edge environments.

Edge Devices

Edge Networking integrates basic and other edge elements to create the best edge computing solutions, including services that come with their own orchestration and management.

Closed Loop Automation

Using Edge Networking, organizations can easily control the cost and utilization of a specific user or application.

Intent-based modular orchestration platform

Edge Networking's end-to-end modular orchestration platform simplifies the automation of complex systems by abstracting applications and networks from the underlying infrastructure. This model-driven automation is an intention-based system, allowing you to focus on the desired state (the "what") rather than the actions to get there (the "how"). Using Edge Networking, you can map the desired state to a set of tasks that will allocate the right set of resources needed to meet the demands of your applications.
