Pensando Systems’ Distributed Services Platform
Three-year-old edge cloud startup Pensando Systems has built a new edge services model for enterprise and cloud computing. The company’s Distributed Services Platform includes a custom, programmable P4 processor, which the company has named Capri, that is optimized to execute a software stack delivering cloud, compute, network, storage and security services at cloud scale with minimal latency and very low power requirements, according to the Milpitas, Calif.-based company.
Capri can be easily installed in any standard server via Pensando’s Distributed Services Card (DSC), which provides software-defined services at the server edge, eliminating an assortment of discrete appliances throughout the data center and simplifying IT operations, the company said.
