Juniper is staking its edge computing claim by unveiling its Contrail Edge Cloud, a compact version of its Contrail multicloud orchestration platform designed specifically to enable the deployment of centrally managed yet distributed telco cloud functionality. Juniper Networks Inc. CTO Bikash Koley has been promising to aggressively pursue edge computing and, with this announcement, the vendor claims to be bringing the full cloud experience, with centralized management and distributed security, to distributed physical locations including basestations, hub sites and others that have inherent space and power constraints.
