Avassa Named as a Sample Vendor in Gartner® Hype Cycle™ Report for Edge Computing

Esteemed Recognition Highlights Avassa’s Pioneering Contributions in the Edge.

Stockholm, Sweden. October 11th 2023. — Avassa, a leader in providing edge management and operations solutions, are honored to announce their inclusion as a sample vendor in the highly regarded Gartner® Hype Cycle™ Report for Edge Computing. This recognition underscores Avassa’s commitment to delivering robust application and infrastructure management solutions in the rapidly evolving domain of edge computing.

Avassa is listed as a sample vendor in both the categories of Edge Management and Orchestration and Edge PaaS. Gartner defines edge management and orchestration (EMO) as edge infrastructure software and application management solutions for managing many remote, distributed edge locations and deployments. In parallel, Edge PaaS is a type of cloud-oriented application platform that is purpose-built for capacity-constrained environments at the network edge. The Gartner® Hype Cycle™ Report is an esteemed publication that offers a keen insight into the maturity, adoption, and social application of various technologies.

Avassa’s management and operations platform aims to make the distributed on-site edge comprehensive and easy to manage. Being named a sample vendor in these two categories reflects the significant strides Avassa has made in aligning with the industry’s forward momentum bridging the gap between an application-centric approach known from the centralized cloud — and the remote, distributed, and resource-constrained nature of the on-site edge.

“We are thrilled to be recognized by Gartner, a leading research and advisory company, in their Hype Cycle Report for Edge Computing. This acknowledgment accentuates the effectiveness and the groundbreaking nature of our edge application management and operations solution,” said Fredrik Lundberg, CEO of Avassa. “As the field of edge computing continues to flourish, research such as the Hype Cycle Report is instrumental in enhancing our common understanding of this ecosystem and the potential it brings.”
