OrionVM and J-Squared Partner to Deliver a Seamless, High-Performance Hybrid Edge-Cloud Experience

Hybrid solution empowers edge devices to work in synergy with cloud workloads, offering the best of both worlds 

San Francisco, Calif., December 11, 2023 6:00 AM ET— OrionVM®, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provider and cloud computing pioneer, and  J-Squared Technologies Inc., a global leader in providing ruggedized computing hardware solutions, have entered into a strategic partnership that combines the power of OrionVM’s next-gen cloud technology with J-Squared’s FALC-AI line of edge-native compute platforms. The joint solution provides flexible, scalable cloud architecture coupled with high-performance and low-power small form factor edge solutions designed for environmentally harsh and technically challenging deployment environments.

Industries including construction, transportation, mining, and agriculture, regularly operate in environments with limited connectivity due to remote locations or unreliable network connections. These environmental and business complexities, as well as today’s resource-intensive AI deployments, require scalable, cloud-connected and high-performing edge workloads. Joint use of the same state-of-the-art acceleration technology at the edge and cloud results in tangible benefits such as reduced software complexity, faster processing, and lower latency. This tightly coupled integration avoids common deployment challenges that result from mismatched architectures and enables uninterrupted operations. 

“This collaboration answers an exploding need from private and public organizations of all kinds—a seamless experience between remote edge devices and cloud resources for a single, integrated computing and storage solution,” said Andrew Woollard, CTO of J-Squared Technologies. “Flexibility, including a range of ruggedized hardware options, is baked into the offering, powering a broad range of complex AI applications, from mining vehicle fleet management to smart city traffic management deployments.”  

The OrionVM and J-Squared partnership delivers key AI deployment benefits:

Enhanced Accessibility: Developers can deploy and manage AI models effortlessly across both cloud and edge devices, streamlining accessibility and usability.

Optimized Performance: The amalgamation of cloud resources and edge devices results in optimized AI model performance, delivering faster processing and reduced latency.

Unified Ecosystem: A cohesive ecosystem allows for seamless synchronization between cloud-hosted AI models and edge devices, ensuring uniformity in data processing and AI inference.

“As businesses of various industries increasingly need to process large sets of data and harness the power of resource intensive solutions such as AI or ML, they need efficient and cost effective ways to bring cloud and edge technology into the fold,” said Daniel Pfeiffer, COO and VP Partnerships for OrionVM. “We are excited to incorporate into our partner ecosystem the rugged and secure edge solutions that J-Squared has pioneered.”

The joint solution for streamlined AI deployment is commercially available now. For more information on the OrionVM and J-Squared offerings, please visit https://www.orionvm.com/edge.
