• Companies can now monitor and manage fleets of edge nodes locally, ensuring continuous secure operations even when cloud connectivity is disrupted.
• ZEDEDA Edge Sync is the first edge solution that enables customers to manage deployments locally and from the cloud, providing the flexibility to move to the cloud from air-gapped environments.
• ZEDEDA Edge Sync is the latest addition to ZEDEDA's Edge Application Services suite. It simplifies the security and management of edge infrastructure and applications at scale.

ZEDEDA, the leader in edge management and orchestration, today announced ZEDEDA Edge Sync, a secure and convenient solution tailored for air-gapped environments and edge deployments lacking consistent cloud connectivity.

Despite advancements in connectivity at the edge, many deployments still face network challenges due to their distributed nature, ultra-secure systems or unreliable connections. ZEDEDA Edge Sync solves these problems by enabling local node management while seamlessly integrating with ZEDEDA’s platform.

“ZEDEDA Edge Sync provides peace of mind for customers with intermittent connectivity and strict security requirements who are looking to mitigate risks as they plan their path to the cloud,” said Eva Feng, ZEDEDA’s VP of Product Management. “It eliminates the need for expensive hardware components by running on standard systems and supports all types of networks and varying levels of disconnectedness without compromising functionality.”

According to a new forecast by IDC, worldwide spending on edge computing is expected to reach nearly $350 billion by 2027. The report also produced strong growth in the near term, with a 15.4% increase in spending this year over 2023.

ZEDEDA Edge Sync: Monitor and Manage Fleets of Edge Nodes in Disconnected Environments

Due to their distributed nature, modern edge deployments confront numerous network connectivity challenges. Edge deployments often lack consistent cloud connectivity due to high-security air-gapped environments, unreliable network connectivity, or frequent planned outages. ZEDEDA Edge Sync solves these problems by running on a local network regardless of the network connectivity method and connecting to the ZEDEDA cloud controller when connectivity is restored.

For example, it may be common for a location’s network connection to get interrupted for some time, either planned or unplanned. To avoid any service interruption during the outage, the site operator can ensure that edge nodes are functioning properly and that configuration changes are possible while the outage persists.

This applies even to completely air-gapped deployments where the device can never connect to the outside world once it is deployed. ZEDEDA Edge Sync allows monitoring and changes at a fleet level as long as the local edge nodes have access to the network the ZEDEDA Edge Sync service is on. It eliminates the need for expensive hardware components by running on standard systems and supports varying levels of disconnectedness without compromising functionality.

ZEDEDA Edge Sync provides a management and monitoring API that enables customers to build their own custom integrations, applications, and HMI interfaces on top of it, leveraging ZEDEDA’s API-based approach.

ZEDEDA Edge Sync is part of a growing number of ZEDEDA Edge Application Services, an industry-leading suite of services providing remote access, local access, inventory and configuration management, and Kubernetes management services tailored to the individual needs of each deployment and customer. ZEDEDA Edge Application Services are delivered using ZEDEDA’s market-leading edge orchestration solution, which reduces cost while increasing visibility, security and control.

ZEDEDA will share more details about ZEDEDA Edge Sync at a webinar on May 9 at 9 a.m. Pacific Time. Register here or visit ZEDEDA.com.
