Fast, Flexible Edge Deployments

Palette Edge helps organizations launch new sites quickly and at lower cost by reducing deployment complexity and manual intervention. Its platform enables local workload continuity — even when network connectivity is limited — and allows teams to operate efficiently without extensive on-site IT resources. By avoiding hardware and vendor lock-in, Palette Edge lowers total cost of ownership and supports both existing and next-generation applications across on-premises, public and private clouds.

Industry-Specific Advantages

Your organization can realize operational excellence, significant cost savings and fewer truck rolls. Retail, manufacturing and logistics sectors benefit most from Palette Edge’s rapid deployments, localized AI and centralized management — translating to improved uptime and reduced support costs.

Industry specific challenges and benefits include:

Healthcare: Secure, compliant Kubernetes for imaging, monitoring, and IoT across clinics and remote locations. Local AI/ML supports diagnostics and emergency operations.
Manufacturing: Supports operational technology and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), robotics and quality control in air-gapped facilities. Local AI powers predictive maintenance and uninterrupted operations during outages.
Defense and government: Delivers resilient compute for mobile or disconnected missions with real-time analytics, secure boot and tamper-resistant environments for classified workloads.
Retail and quick-serve: Reliable Kubernetes for point of sale (POS) and store systems with edge AI for loss prevention and analytics. Zero-touch rollouts minimize field visits and costs.
Energy and utilities: Enables secure telemetry, AI-driven grid analysis and automation at remote substations.
Transportation and smart cities: Streamlines edge node onboarding for fleets and city systems, supporting predictive maintenance and real-time operations.
Branch IT: Low-touch Kubernetes for branches with unified lifecycle and compliance management.

Quantifiable Results: Efficiency, Savings, and Growth

Palette Edge includes premium 24x7 support and full-stack solution support. CDW leads solution deployment and migrations, ensuring a seamless experience and fast time to value for every customer.
