Dell Announces NativeEdge 2.0 for Enhanced Edge Operations

Dell has announced the launch of Dell NativeEdge 2.0, a significant update to its industry-leading edge operations software platform.

Dell NativeEdge is an innovative edge operations software platform bringing computation and data processing closer to the source, helping businesses optimise the full potential of data securely so they can make faster decisions and leverage AI applications at the edge for real-time insights, actions, and automation.

Native Edge 2.0 will empower organisations to simplify, secure and scale their edge deployments, and help unlock the full potential of edge computing.

NativeEdge 2.0 introduces Blueprints, which are like easy-to-follow plans for setting up applications. With Blueprints deploying industry applications across different places and devices is as simple as clicking a button. Blueprints automate the entire process, saving time, effort, and resources.

IT professionals can easily define application settings, infrastructure requirements, network configurations, and customer workflows – all within a single file. This single Blueprint can then be deployed across various Edge devices or throughout various development stages, ensuring consistency and compliance.

Dell NativeEdge 2.0 is more secure with features like a virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM) and UEFI secure boot capabilities, aligning with Zero Trust principles to enhance edge security and compliance. These features safeguard edge deployments by validating platform integrity and preventing unauthorised software execution.

“Edge computing is transforming the way businesses operate, innovate, and compete in today’s digital world,” said Gil Shneorson, Senior Vice President for Solutions Platforms at Dell Technologies. “By locating computation and data processing closer to where data is generated, it is possible to make decisions faster and leverage AI applications at the edge. However, the task of managing edge operations across diverse locations, devices, and applications can be daunting and expensive. Now, there’s a solution to these complexities: Dell NativeEdge, an innovative edge operations software platform designed to simplify, optimise, and secure your entire edge estate.”

Dell is introducing three-year subscription plans for NativeEdge, offering more choices to meet your needs depending on your edge requirements and preferences. With the three-year subscription plans, you can enjoy longer-term savings and benefits, such as lower costs and predictable budgeting.
