Any app on any architecture
Sunlight is designed for performance and can run even the most demanding and data-heavy AI, ML and analytics applications on any application architecture and requires minimal hardware. Best of all - applications can be deployed with a single click from the Sunlight Marketplace. Sunlight supports applications running in containers or VMs - so you don't need separate hardware to run all your applications in a single Sunlight cluster.
Any hardware
Sunlight works with your favorite hardware from Lenovo, Supermicro, Hivecell, LanternEdge, HPE and others. Because Sunlight has such a minimal device footprint - you can use some of the tiniest devices out there. It also runs natively in the AWS and Equinix clouds.
Any core cloud
The Sunlight Infrastructure Manager (SIM) is our centralized UI and API to remotely manage all your Edge nodes and automatically deploy applications via the Sunlight Marketplace. It can be deployed inside any core cloud or installed onto a Linux-based Virtual Machine.
Any CPU or GPU
Sunlight supports both x86 and Arm processor architectures so you can choose the best hardware for your use case - from Intel Xeon and Atom to embedded Arm-based systems.

“Not only did Sunlight go above and beyond when we needed to migrate all of our customers to Sunlight running on existing hardware at short notice, they were open and transparent with us about any hiccups along the way. Let’s just say, we didn’t get this level of service with our previous HCI supplier. The Sunlight Infrastructure Manager is a game changer. Not only have we saved time and money managing our own infrastructure, our clients find their own environments easy to use as well.”

“We created the ThinkSystem SE350 to be small and rugged enough to run anywhere - it can even be hung on the wall of a smart factory - without compromising on performance. We’re delighted to have assisted Sunlight in certifying the SE350. Our customers are increasingly looking for ways to simplify their edge architectures - and Sunlight plus SE350 offers a great way to do that.”
Florian Pawletta
