I like Avassa for their lightweight approach to running containers at massively distributed edge locations. In particular, management through a central cloud console (Control Tower) and no requirement for Kubernetes, even when the edge location has multiple container hosts.
Avassa showcased their cloud-based Control Tower platform at Edge Field Day, highlighting its container-first approach for edge application orchestration. They demonstrated solutions for VM-container integration, AI model deployment, and offline edge management.
Taking Technology to the Edge at Edge Field Day 3
No matter what area of technology you’re interested in, it’s moving to the edge. We’re seeing a proliferation of applications for advanced networking, AI, compute, and storage solutions across industries like retail, industrial, military, media, and more. Over the past few years, Edge Field Day has highlighted key products and technologies for edge environments, and the next Tech Field Day event is coming soon. Our next Edge Field Day event is on September 18th and 19th, and I hope you can tune in live or watch the recordings. Here’s a quick overview of what to look forward to.
Things kick off on Wednesday, September 18th at 8:00 AM Pacific with VMware by Broadcom, which is bringing advanced application and networking services to edge environments. We recently got a glimpse of software-defined edge at VMware Explore, and this discussion continues at Edge Field Day. Avassa takes the stage at 10:30 AM to demonstrate how easy it is to migrate legacy VMs and containers to the edge. The Avassa platform simplifies edge deployments by packaging VMs as containers during migration. At 1:30 PM, we welcome TSecond, a company specializing in large data capture, data transport, and AI in unforgiving environments. The TSecond BRYCK is a high-performance, petabyte-scale mobile data solution that now enables AI right at the edge.
Thursday begins with Ignite presentations by the Edge Field Day delegates, which is always a highlight of our events. We welcome ZEDEDA back to Edge Field Day at 10:30 AM Pacific for a session focused on edge orchestration and management. They’ll dive into Kubernetes, edge AI, and more. At 1:30 PM, we’ll learn about OnLogic, the leading manufacturer of industrial small-form-factor computers for edge environments. Their presentation will take us through various environments that require unique compute solutions.
You can also catch the Edge Field Day delegates on our Tech Field Day podcast, including two special episodes recorded next week. Check out our appearances on Techstrong Gang and the Gestalt IT Rundown, and tune in for behind-the-scenes shorts, tech talks, and extras recorded in Silicon Valley.
Tune in to Edge Field Day Live
All of our sessions are broadcast live on the Tech Field Day LinkedIn page and are recorded and shared on the Tech Field Day YouTube channel. You can also catch the sessions live on Techstrong.TV, with coverage continuing on our website and our sister sites across Techstrong. We welcome participation on X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, and Mastodon using #EFD3. You can learn more about the event and our panel of independent technical influencers by visiting the Edge Field Day event page. Each of our delegates has their own blog, podcast, or social media platform where they share their thoughts on enterprise technology, from servers and storage to cloud and edge. We’re proud to have Alastair Cooke and Guy Currier from The Futurum Group joining the delegate panel, and we look forward to their analysis and reactions.
Thank you for joining Edge Field Day live on September 18th and 19th! While you’re on YouTube, please subscribe to our channel and follow our LinkedIn page for more great Field Day content.
