VMware nanoEDGE A Small, Low Cost SDDC

Storage Review | September 18, 2019

VMware solves big issues. When one thinks of compact VMware it is usually in terms of a vSAN ReadyNode that is some form of rackmount server. There are instances where VMware can solve an issue but there is a need for minimal infrastructure. A Principal Systems Engineer and member of the Office of the CTO Global Field, Simon Richardson, saw these issues emerging for his retail customers and help develop the compact VMware solution in nanoEDGE. Going to the cloud for edge or remote locations isn’t always feasible. While the cloud is almost always an option more and more workloads at the edge need more compute, storage, or even GPUs. Basically, there is a need for something like VMware SDDC at the edge but no room for it. Simon Richardson looked at the problem of how he would put the necessary infrastructure to run around 25 VMs or containers without the usual rack/rail requirements. Enter the nanoEDGE.
