There are many unique challenges associated with deploying, managing, and operating compute infrastructure for running applications at the distributed edge. In this presentation, NodeWeaver CEO Carlo Daffara discusses these challenges and outlines key NodeWeaver customer use cases.

NodeWeaver is an innovative software layer specifically designed to navigate the complexities of edge computing. By transforming hardware devices into a nano cloud that mirrors the capabilities of a public cloud, NodeWeaver enables seamless management, installation and operation across various devices while supporting diverse data requirements. Taking a step further, it alleviates the need for a fixed hardware compatibility list, accommodating a broad range of hardware devices, including Raspberry Pi and industrial-grade servers.

Carlo will provide a high-level overview of NodeWeaver’s key features and functionality and demonstrate these capabilities via the UI. This will also provide additional context for the other demos.

NodeWeaver is an advanced platform that enables extensive control over a NanoCloud through both web browser and API-based interfaces. Key features include hiding hardware properties, enabling easier manageability, and integrating probes that monitor and provide performance reports for each physical node. The Distributed File System optimizes storage by dividing data into blocks and replicating across multiple storage devices. NodeWeaver also supports the creation of virtual networks, switches and storage with fully customizable templates alongside context-based alterations on deployment.

We continue the “hero’s journey” to focus on addressing the real world operational challenges from day 1 going forward. Here we will discuss and demonstrate cluster expansion, failover, automated management, autoscaling, remote management, application deployment, and service chaining. We will also discuss the unique security challenges presented by the distributed edge and how NodeWeaver addresses them.

NodeWeaver sets the standard for software-defined edge operating platforms, enabling the seamless operation of autonomous nano clouds. The platform can be deployed on any hardware and at any edge location, making it adaptable and versatile. With NodeWeaver’s extensive capabilities for long-term management, data protection, and excellent monitoring abilities, businesses can trust in the platform’s reliability while benefitting from its innovative features.
