Edge is the new battleground for business. The edge is where factories are automating manufacturing, retailers are connecting with customers, and restaurants are delivering new dining experiences. Across industries, businesses are harnessing the power of AI through computer vision and machine learning, to streamline operations and enhance quality. Yet the challenge remains: how to efficiently manage infrastructure and applications at dispersed sites with limited IT resources. To remain competitive, our enterprise customers need a trusted platform so they can focus on the applications and services driving their business outcomes. VMware Edge Compute Stack (ECS) 3.5 addresses these challenges, with today’s introduction of new features field tested by more than 100 customers. Purpose-built for edge, ECS 3.5 simplifies the deployment of applications and infrastructure across thousands of edge locations, while seamlessly automating the management and orchestration of these sites.
Delivering VMware Edge Cloud Orchestrator management for edge compute
Building upon the existing telemetry capabilities of the VMware Edge Cloud Orchestrator (VECO), this release introduces zero-touch orchestration capabilities and scaled management of both infrastructure and applications to VMware Edge Compute Stack. For customers facing challenges managing edge devices, applications, and infrastructure across multiple locations, ECS 3.5 offers a simplified solution for edge operations. In fact, some customers have told us that our new release significantly reduces deployment complexity and can reduce the process from months down to minutes.

VECO features a pull-based architecture, which is ideal for customers with many edge sites and varying levels of connectivity. Similar to how an iPhone updates itself, edge sites update their applications and infrastructure when the edge host is connected and new updates or configuration changes are published.
