Lightedge Solutions Inc. emphasizes a workload-fit approach to hybrid cloud optionality, allowing enterprises to distribute applications across private clouds, public clouds, and colocation facilities based on specific requirements for latency, security, and compliance.
The company's CEO, Rob Carter, notes that many organizations currently manage fragmented estates across Amazon Web Services Inc., Microsoft Azure, and private infrastructure due to previous cloud-first strategies or M&A activity.
To address these challenges, Lightedge leverages its status as one of 14 U.S.-based VMware Cloud Service Provider Pinnacle partners. The company uses platforms like VMware Cloud Foundation to manage the complex layers of storage, networking, and virtualization for its clients.
Carter states that the company avoids pushing a single platform regardless of business needs. Instead, the focus is on matching the specific cloud platform to the individual business unit's requirements to avoid placing customers in suboptimal cloud environments.
