Delivering the cloud operating model to edge infrastructure, globally
Solution overview:
The Ori Global Edge platform simplifies workload provisioning across public, telco, hybrid, and multi-cloud infrastructures to support countless enterprise and consumer needs. Sunlight turns every location into a micro cloud, where any legacy or new service can be consolidated onto a single, highly available, small footprint and ruggedised stack of hardware. The joint solution can be managed remotely as one distributed cloud from a central management dashboard — allowing applications to be deployed and managed across any enterprise or edge location, seamlessly.
Why run Ori and Sunlight?
Infrastructure management is increasingly complex for enterprises on their digital transformation journey. Together, Ori Industries & Sunlight make edge infrastructure and application deployments as easy as in the cloud.
Leverage Sunlight’s all-in-one compute, storage & networking, and centralised application deployment & management coupled with the Ori Global Edge to fully automate the end-to-end deployment of edge applications. Major benefits:
- Consolidate: Cut costs by consolidating all of your in-location edge applications onto a single highly available hardware stack with full isolation, security and high availability
- Automate: Speed time-to-market and cut support burden by standardising application deployments across your locations using ready-built or custom application recipes in the Sunlight marketplace
- Innovate: Increase pace of innovation by making it easy to deploy and update new applications across all your edge locations from a central management dashboard.
Delivering next-generation retail
While these capabilities can level the playing field for multiple verticals, retail in particular can benefit given how it has evolved in recent years. Quick Service Retail (QSR) has needed to get fast and personal: quick service restaurants are experiencing a surge in post-COVID innovation as customer buying behaviours have changed forever. Customers increasingly demand a better customer experience — from personalisation, to contactless ordering and paying, to smart drive-thrus with pick-up times measured in seconds, all with highly consistent food quality.
New AI-driven smart applications are appearing that can help deliver on these needs. The bad news is that all these new capabilities mean more IT systems that have to be installed and managed at each location. This leads to high infrastructure costs, more pressure on valuable floor-space, and increased reliance on expensive IT skills to keep things running. What if you could accelerate application delivery across all your locations, whilst minimising infrastructure costs, and reducing complexity?
