ZEDEDA

ZEDEDA is a software platform that virtualizes both existing legacy & new IoT applications built at the edge, thus enabling the efficiency, control, and security of traditional cloud-native apps – in legacy edge environments.

Unlike cloud, edge computing is still rooted in the embedded world, which makes lifecycle management difficult – i.e. it’s hard to deploy, secure, update, maintain, and future-proof edge apps, especially for over-the-air remote locations.

ZEDEDA modernizes edge computing practices and delivers the advantages of cloud virtualization, via a unique software solution that:

• Automatically converts legacy applications into data platforms that extend their value by making them available to newer, cloud-native applications (real-time analytics, AI/ML, etc).
• Simplifies software lifecycle management of edge applications for consistent, automated, secure deployment on modern hardware, over any network, at any location.
• Drives agility of future edge services with consistent governance processes, so adding new services to the cyber-physical edge becomes as easy as adding an app to a smartphone.
• Minimizes risk of modernization efforts by avoiding the downtime and business workflow interruptions typically associated with updating legacy edge applications.

Rather than re-architecting embedded compute software while re-platforming hardware, ZEDADA’s edge virtualization offers a route to encapsulating and re-hosting your legacy applications on modern equipment which can save considerable time, cost, and resources – while driving a modernization strategy that adapts to future edge compute needs.

ZEDEDA is broadly applicable to legacy operational applications (SCADA/PLC, MES, historian, point-of-sale, building management, WMS/TMS, etc), as well as modern IoT applications (AWS/Azure IoT, edge analytics, embedded AI/ML, RTLS, Raspberry Pi, etc).
