Edge Network Controller

Growing IoT device use and new demands for performance-sensitive applications are creating a need to store and process data in locations close to end users, at the edge of the network. The Edge Network Controller lets you meet the unique requirements of:

• Space- and cost-constrained locations where intra-server connectivity and WAN gateway switches must sometimes be merged onto the same equipment
• Locations that support dynamic applications with stringent SLAs for ultra-reliability and low-latency networking performance
• Locations that need to operate autonomously in case connectivity with the central cloud control is lost

Automate the edge cloud network with Kubernetes

The Edge Network Controller runs as a native resource inside Kubernetes to augment it with network knowledge and make its paradigms immediately available to your networking teams.

• Kubernetes becomes the single orchestrator for your compute, storage and network infrastructure in the edge cloud.
• Your teams can use all the tools from the Kubernetes ecosystem to design, build and maintain the edge network.
• The networking infrastructure is not seen in isolation but operates in concert with the applications it supports.
• Your network engineers maintain control over the network through role-based access mechanisms natively available in Kubernetes.
