Newly Launched VMware Edge Cloud Orchestrator
Helps Customers Deploy, Manage, and Better Secure Edge-Native
Applications and Infrastructure at Scale
VMware Explore 2023 — Enterprises and service providers
alike are looking to the edge as the next frontier for digital
transformation. Edge deployments today are proprietary integrations
of custom hardware and software. They are giving way to the new
software-defined edge that is intelligent, programmable, and
scalable. Today at VMware Explore 2023 Las Vegas, VMware, Inc.
(NYSE: VMW) announced new capabilities, solutions, and services to
help customers accelerate their digital transformation at the edge.
This includes:
- New VMware Edge orchestration capabilities to orchestrate and
manage multiple edge services at scale;
- A new retail edge industry solution to better support customer
engagement, loss prevention, and point-of-sale transformation;
and,
- A soon to be available VMware Edge managed connectivity service
enabling wireless service providers to deliver private 4G/5G
services to enterprises.
“The growing demand for edge computing across industries is
driving the need for automation and orchestration,” said Sanjay
Uppal, senior vice president and general manager of Service
Provider and Edge, VMware. “The VMware Edge Cloud Orchestrator is a
powerful new tool that extends our proven network automation and
orchestration capabilities to help organizations more securely and
cost-effectively install, configure, operate, and maintain their
edge deployments. Building on our history of scaling edge
networking from carriers to enterprise, VMware Edge Cloud
Orchestrator is the first truly software-defined edge solution for
scalable ‘end-to-edge’ infrastructure.”
Introducing VMware Edge Cloud Orchestrator
Enterprises are looking to transform both the value they are
delivering to their customers as well as how they deliver this
value. The challenge in achieving the goal of leveraging the edge
effectively is the complexity across people, processes, and
technology. This includes a lack of reliable connectivity with a
central data center or cloud location, a lack of IT expertise
on-site at disparate sites, and the need to scale deployments to
thousands of sites, often across domains and geographic
boundaries.
To help address these challenges, VMware today is introducing
new and enhanced orchestration capabilities for the edge. VMware
Edge Cloud Orchestrator (formerly VMware SASE Orchestrator) will
provide unified management for VMware SASE and the VMware Edge
Compute Stack—an industry-first offering to bridge the gap between
edge networking and edge compute. Enhancements to the orchestrator
will help customers plan, deploy, run, visualize, and manage their
edge environments in a friction-free manner—allowing them to run
edge-native applications focused on business outcomes. The VMware
Edge Cloud Orchestrator (VECO) will deliver holistic edge
management by providing a single console to manage edge compute
infrastructure, networking, and security.
VMware defines the software-defined edge as a distributed
digital Infrastructure that runs workloads across a number of
locations, close to endpoints that are producing and consuming
data. It extends to where the users and devices are—whether they
are in the office, on the road or on the factory floor. Enterprises
need solutions to connect these elements more securely and reliably
to the larger enterprise network in a scalable manner. VMware Edge
Cloud Orchestrator is key to enabling a software-defined edge
approach. VMware’s approach to the software-defined edge features
right-sized infrastructure (shrinking the stack to the smallest
possible footprint); pull-based orchestration (security and
administrative updates are “pulled” by the workload); and network
programmability (defined by APIs and code).
“Audi wants to take factory automation to the next level and
benefit from a scalable edge infrastructure at its factories
worldwide,” said J�rg Spindler, Global Head of Manufacturing
Engineering, Audi. “Audi's Edge Cloud 4 Production will be the key
component of this digital transformation, replacing individual PCs
and hardware on the shop floor. Ultimately, it will increase
factory uptime, agility, and the speed of rolling out new
applications and tools across the production line. VMware Edge
Compute Stack (ECS) and the VMware Edge Cloud Orchestrator (VECO)
will offer a scalable way for Audi to operate a distributed edge
infrastructure, manage resources more efficiently, and lower its
operations costs.”
VMware Edge Compute Stack Commercializes Project
Keswick
Enterprises have come across and addressed edge computing use
cases on shop floors, in stores, on oil rigs, and more. According
to IDC, edge computing has gone mainstream as the ability to
distribute applications and data to field locations is a key
element of most digital transformation initiatives. Worldwide
spending on edge computing is expected to be $208 billion in 2023,
an increase of 13.1% over 2022.1
Building off the VMware Edge Cloud Orchestrator launch, VMware
today unveiled new orchestration capabilities for VMware Edge
Compute Stack based on Project Keswick. Keswick is available as a
Technology Showcase today and allows edge administrators to work
with VMware to develop use cases. Customers will benefit from
simplified lifecycle management of virtual machine (VM)- and
containers-based applications and infrastructure. The technology
offers pull-based configuration with zero touch provisioning and
supports GitOps principles for desired state management. With
scalable deployment and operations capabilities, it will also help
customers automate security updates across edge infrastructure and
will be ideal for edges lacking a stable inbound network
connection.
VMware Edge Compute Stack’s support for new and existing
applications enables customers to consolidate hardware and
modernize applications at their own pace. The low-latency
architecture helps operate high-speed robotics as well as share GPU
resources across applications. This reduces infrastructure and
management overhead enabling customers to scale their edge
operations for innovations today and in the future. VMware provides
the reliability and resilience customers require to repeatably run
the most stringent Operational Technology (OT) applications.
Introducing VMware Retail Edge: Platform for Store Innovation
and Optimization
The new VMware Retail Edge Solution brings the agility, ease of
management, and better security of VMware Edge Compute Stack to
retail store environments. A single software-defined platform to
deliver critical business outcomes, VMware Retail Edge enables
customers to build, run, manage, connect, and protect their
business services across all their retail stores, simply and more
cost-effectively. With VMware Retail Edge, customers can reduce
in-store infrastructure costs and management, remotely deploy and
maintain applications on demand, and accelerate the deployment of
next-generation AI apps. VMware Retail Edge makes adopting
solutions from partners faster and more cost effective by
consolidating these apps onto a single scalable store innovation
platform. By combining VMware Retail Edge with solutions from
partners such as Chooch.ai and Stratodesk, retailers can better
support customer engagement, loss prevention, and point-of-sale
transformation. Read more about the new VMware Retail Edge solution
in this blog post.
Announcing the Initial Availability of VMware Private Mobile
Network
Today, VMware also announced that the VMware Private Mobile
Network, a managed connectivity service to accelerate edge digital
transformation, will become initially available in the current
quarter (FY24 Q3). VMware partners with wireless service providers
to help remove the complexity associated with private mobile
networks and enable enterprises to focus on their strategic
business outcomes. Built on VMware Edge Compute Stack, VMware
Private Mobile Network offers service providers trusted VMware
technology, seamlessly integrated into existing IT management
platforms. This enables rapid deployment and effortless management
and orchestration. VMware is also pleased to announce that it is
working with Betacom, Boingo Wireless, and Federated Wireless as
the initial beta wireless service provider partners for this new
offering.
