Pensando positioned as high-performance alternative to cloud provider ‘lock-in’
BY MARK ALBERTSON
These are quiet days for a number of companies that are building for computing at the edge, but there is apparently a lot happening behind the scenes.
After emerging from stealth mode in October, Pensando Systems Inc. has kept a relatively low profile. Its website lists only two personnel-related announcements over the last seven months. Yet, one key executive behind Pensando remains steadfast in her belief that the startup is well positioned to deliver a highly programmable, software-defined platform for edge computing.
“The bulk of customers’ data is going to be at the edge,” said Soni Jiandani (pictured), co-founder and chief business officer at Pensando. “This will require deep innovation in the areas of network processing, security with full encryption, full observability, traffic engineering, and doing it at very low, predictable latency at the speeds of 100 gigabits. We were really the only guys and gals who could do this, and we have done it.”
Jiandani spoke with Stu Miniman, host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio, during Pensando’s Future Proof Your Enterprise event. They discussed Pensando’s approach versus cloud providers and feedback from customers on the need for choice in hybrid cloud strategies. (* Disclosure below.)
Leapfrogging Nitro
In conversations with the press during Pensando’s launch last fall, executives were clear about their intention to compete with Nitro systems, dedicated hardware cards used by Amazon Web Services Inc. to offload tasks from EC2 host servers.
Pensando is seeking to let customers turn existing on-premises architectures into clouds using its proprietary accelerator technology.
“We’re enabling them to leapfrog the Nitro technology on multiple fronts,” said Jiandani, who indicated that Pensando can process up to nine times more packets per second. “This technology is now readily available to all cloud customers.”
Pensando makes the argument that its platform offers no risk of “lock in” versus tools such as AWS’ Outposts, which extends the cloud provider’s infrastructure to customer data centers.
“It’s only allowing that customer to be locked into one way of dealing with one public cloud company,” Jiandani noted. “Multiple customers are essentially telling us: ‘I don’t want to be locked into a single public cloud company for a hybrid strategy.’”
