Partner program makes it easy for partners to order fully pre-configured solutions powered by Avnet Integrated
CAMBRIDGE, U.K. (March 15, 2022) – Edge infrastructure company Sunlight.io today announced it has launched an Edge-as-a-Service digital storefront with Avnet Integrated. The storefront provides Sunlight.IO channel partners with a portal to easily order pre-configured edge infrastructure solutions, complete with hardware, software, and centralized management, to any location across EMEA - and soon to anywhere in the world.
Sunlight is an edge infrastructure solution that makes managing edge applications as easy as the cloud. By turning each location into a ‘micro cloud’, all legacy and bleeding edge services can be consolidated onto a single, highly available, small footprint and ruggedised stack of hardware. These micro-clouds can then be managed remotely as one distributed cloud from a central management dashboard - allowing applications to be deployed and managed across all sites, in just a few clicks.
The partnership between Sunlight and Avnet Integrated delivers an e-commerce platform where an edge server, such as the Lenovo SE350 or Supermicro E300, can be ordered pre-installed with the Sunlight platform, pre-configured, and delivered directly to the edge locations required. The client then simply plugs the device into the network and powers it on at each location; the edge devices will securely connect to the central management dashboard and be installed with the correct applications. The storefront offers a choice of certified and tested platforms that are sized for common workloads. This method takes the guesswork out of choosing the right platform for applications.
Sunlight CSO, Andrew Brewerton, says: “The nature of edge projects requires large numbers of devices to be deployed either across multiple sites, for example across a chain of fast-food restaurants, or multiple production lines, for example in an industrial manufacturing facility. It’s important for System Integrators and Resellers to quickly and seamlessly deploy edge-appropriate platforms running on edge-appropriate servers to get the cost and space efficiencies needed in large-scale projects.”
“Enabling companies like Sunlight.IO to achieve exponential growth, by providing a thorough concept-to-deployment platform is our mission at Avnet Integrated. This is especially relevant in the hyper-growth edge computing market where innovative solution providers like Sunlight.IO need a partner that can scale integration services globally, and scale customer reach and capital utilization through e-commerce and end-user financial solutions. We look forward to adding more Sunlight.IO solutions and geographies to this fantastic storefront.” comments Nicole Enright, president of Avnet Integrated.
