The VMware Edge Compute Stack provides a consistent edge platform that enables customers to build, run, manage, connect, and protect their workloads at near and far edges—leveraging consistent infrastructure and consistent operations across their data centers and cloud. VMware Edge Compute Stack is a purpose-built integrated stack for small-scale VM and container computing with edge Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI). VMware’s edge-optimized stack leverages its ESXi hypervisor as an abstraction layer validated to run on the Dell PowerEdge XR12 server. It provides virtual access to compute and other resources to workloads from a single management plane.
This validated design is built on the following core VMware technologies:
