Edge Hardware Certification

Introduction

The Edge Ai hardware market is projected to grow from 920 million units in 2021 to 2,080 million units by 2026, at a CAGR of 17.7%. The key factors contributing to the growth of the market include growth in demand for low latency and real-time processing on Edge devices, emergence of Ai coprocessors for Edge computing, reduction in data storage and operations cost, Increase in cloud-based enterprise workloads and rapid growth in the number of intelligent applications.

All major hardware manufacturers including Advantech, Dell, and Supermicro are building servers that have reference architectures for enterprise, telco and industrial mission-critical applications at the Edge.

Edge Hardware Certification Program

The Zeblok Edge Ai solution provides complete lifecycle management for Ai deployments from Cloud to Edge including Design, Deploy, Secure, Operate, Monitor, Manage and Support.

Zeblok's certification program is designed to ensure smooth functioning of the Ai-MicroCloud^® on reference hardware architectures built specially for Multi Access Compute (MEC) for deployments at the HUB's and Edge's by each vendor.

The scope of the program includes but is not limited to:

• Design: Enabling the Ai-MicroCloud^® to function seamlessly with any company's infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) components to establish a private cloud comprising hardware, storage and networking provided in a testing lab environment for Hub and Edge topologies.


• Deployment: Manual or automated implementation of the Ai-MicroCloud^® to a customer's Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) components to establish a private cloud that they can manage via the Ai-MicroCloud^® Application Manager.


• Test: Ensuring smooth functioning of the installed system via the Ai-MicroCloud^® Application Manager, including each component separately, component integration, and full system functionality, along with features.
