Defining the edge in edge computing
Using the right words is essential, but in most cases, one word means different things to different people. Let’s sort things out, and define the ‘edge’ in edge computing.
Managing applications at the edge—outside the cloud—presents unique challenges. Your edge infrastructure spans numerous distributed locations, such as shop floors, retail stores, vehicles, or any other on-site installations with small compute racks, industrial PCs, or NUCs.
A main challenge is ensuring that all the edge sites are correctly configured and provide services to run application workloads efficiently. This calls for a streamlined, automated solution that allows you to deploy and update containerized and virtual machine (VM) workloads in a single action—across all edge locations. Additionally, edge sites must operate autonomously, ensuring applications run reliably even when disconnected from a central management system. Enjoy the delight of a platform that requires minimum operational tasks.
Introducing the Avassa Edge Platform: Scalable, Secure, and Easy-to-Use
The Avassa Edge Platform is purpose-built to manage edge infrastructure and applications at scale. Designed from the ground up to address the unique challenges of edge computing, it seamlessly handles tens of thousands of sites, operates with a lightweight footprint, and ensures full edge autonomy—even in offline scenarios—with minimal operational overhead.
Many organizations come to Avassa after struggling with retrofitted cloud tools or solutions that fall short in handling the complexities of edge computing. Many organisations also under-estimate the effort for an in-house platform team to build a solution.

Key Drivers for Edge Computing
Several critical factors make edge computing the optimal choice over cloud dependency:
- Business Continuity: Many applications are mission-critical and must continue running throughout potential connectivity issues.
- Low Latency: Real-time processing demands make round-trips to the cloud impractical, requiring immediate local execution.
- Data Security & Compliance: Keeping sensitive data on-premises ensures regulatory compliance and enhanced security.
- Edge AI & Inference: The rise of AI-driven applications necessitates local processing where data is generated, minimizing transfer delays and maximizing efficiency.
By addressing these challenges, organizations can achieve greater reliability, security, and performance across their distributed edge environments.
How Companies Thrive with Avassa at the Edge
Companies operating in distributed, industrial, or retail environments are turning to Avassa to overcome the challenges of efficiently and securely managing applications and infrastructure at the edge. By enabling precise control over application placement, versioning, and lifecycle management across thousands of geographically distributed edge sites, Avassa empowers organizations to deploy updates with confidence and maintain high service availability. Built-in support for secure secrets management, resilient local operations, and fine-grained observability ensures that edge applications remain performant and compliant even without reliable connectivity to a central cloud. As a result, businesses reduce operational complexity, accelerate innovation, and gain the agility to adapt rapidly to changing market and site-level demands.
