Kaloom extends collaboration with Red Hat Inc
to create a unified edge solution for edge sites
United
States: Kaloom, a
growing leader in edge data center networking software solutions, has extended
its collaboration with Red Hat Inc, a global leader in open source solutions, for
creating a unified edge solution which will be used for networking, storage and
computing of 5G edge cloud use cases.
Earlier, these two companies had collaborated
to deliver a virtual central office solution for multivendor deployment.
However, this time ‘Cloud Edge Fabric’ of Kaloom will be integrated with Red
Hat’s ‘OpenShift’ to boost time to market of new services and simplify complex
next generation networks, while optimizing the cost of edge infrastructure. The
jointly developed solution will improve the overall network efficiency and support
the hybrid 5G and 4G infrastructures.
CTO at Kaloom stated that, “We are
excited to announce our jointly developed solution with Red Hat which
solidifies the Kaloom Cloud Edge Fabric for edge data centers based on open
networking principles with Red Hat OpenShift as the basis of a unified solution
for network, compute and storage.”
CTO at Red Hat stated that, “We are
pleased to work with Kaloom to announce a solution designed to deliver
production-ready Linux containers and Kubernetes to service providers with Red
Hat OpenShift, specifically for edge computing. Our extended collaboration in
open source communities shows our shared commitment in moving networking
capabilities in cloud native technologies towards an automated, unified
approach based on open standards.”
According to TechSci Research, acquisition
and collaboration have always been Red Hat’s key growth strategies. In 2019
also, the company had collaborated with Kaloom and in 2020, it partnered with
Intel to enhance its 5G and edge computing capabilities. Partnering with
companies will help Red Hat to develop high performance, scalable and low
latency solutions, while reducing the cost and improving the throughput and
user experience.
According to the published report by TechSci Research, “Global
5G Infrastructure Market, By Communication Infrastructure (Small
Cell, Macro Cell, Radio Access Network (RAN) and Distributed Antenna System
(DAS)), By Core Network Technology (Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Network
Function Virtualization (NFV), Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) and Fog Computing
(FC)), By Application (Healthcare, Automotive, and Others), By Company and By
Geography, Forecast & Opportunities, 2014-2024”, global 5G infrastructure market is
expected to reach USD33.14 billion by 2024 by growing at a CAGR of over 50%
during the forecast period. Major factors driving the growth of the 5G
infrastructure market are increasing demand for high speed & better network
coverage, surging adoption of IoT and big data analysis, growing demand for
connected vehicles & devices across the globe and increasing investments by
the governments. Furthermore, 5G is a key enabler for Internet of Things (IoT)
as it offers a platform to connect several devices to the internet.
According to the recently published
report by TechSci Research, “Global
Edge AI Software Market By Component (Solutions and Services),
By Data Source (Video & Image Recognition, Speech Recognition, Biometric
Data, Mobile Data & Sensor Data), By Application (Access Management, Video
Surveillance and Others), By End User (Energy & Utilities, Automotive,
Government, Manufacturing, IT & Telecom and Others), By Region,
Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2024”, global edge Artificial Intelligence
(AI) software market is expected to grow at double-digit CAGR during the
forecast period on account of significant increase in the number of intelligent
applications. Edge artificial intelligence software makes use of technologies
like artificial intelligence and Internet of Things (IoT) for data processing.
Moreover, advent of 5G is expected to boost the adoption of edge artificial
intelligence software as it uses IoT for collection of data.
