Twelve reasons
Why you’re struggling at the Edge
Challenges faced by our customers before they transition to Platform9.
Troubleshooting problems at each edge site takes days
Control plane at each site drives up upgrade and support costs
No easy way to manage 1000s of sites from one central location
Different hardware and software at each site is expensive to maintain
Managing both VMs and containers doubles ops and license costs
You are unable to deliver edge apps code, consistently, and faster.
Each edge use case is unique and custom-built
Your costs of truck rolls skyrockets as you increase number of locations.
Teams are wasting time searching and implementing the right tools.
From the time hardware is delivered to the time your stack is running takes weeks/months
You slow down app delivery due to lack of automated deployment to edge sites
You are unable to continue operating when your network connection goes down
Enterprises have had two paths for edge projects — until now.
There is a third option with better outcomes
Option 1 – Public cloud: NOT designed for edge
Public cloud can get very expensive at scale and their services won’t work on any edge infrastructure you already own.
Option 2 – Traditional software solutions: too complex
Lack of OpEx, skills, and time for managing virtualization, container, & bare metal at each site.
Option 3 – Platform9: just right approach for edge computing
Get public cloud ease-of-use with unified virtualization, containers, and Bare Metal on existing edge infrastructure across thousands of sites.
Platform9’s unified infrastructure management provides the solution
