Benvenuto to the New Edge


IoT, AI, and 5G are driving massive data growth, changing how and where we consume data.

Compute is migrating to where data is; however, current architectures are unable to adapt. This drives new deployment models and has created a tectonic technology shift, breaking existing architectures and creating The New Edge, an entirely new architecture for clouds.

Pensando directly addresses the generational shift occurring as data growth drives the cloud towards the edge.

Others couldn’t compete until now. Cloud providers can now gain a technological advantage over the current market leader, Amazon Web Services Nitro.

The Pensando platform delivers highly programmable software-defined cloud, compute, networking, storage and security services wherever data is located.

Offering 5-9x improvements in productivity, performance and scale when compared to current architectures with no risk of lock-in.

Pensando Custom P4 Programmable Processor

Il cuore – the heart of the Pensando platform is our own custom, programmable P4 processor. Optimized to execute a software stack delivering cloud, compute, network, storage, and security services at cloud scale with minimal latency, jitter and very low power requirements (~30W@100G).

Pensando Distributed Services Card (DSC)

Our custom P4 programmable processer is easily installed in any standard server via the Pensando Distributed Services Card (DSC). The DSC provides molto servizi – software-defined services at the server edge, eliminating an assortment of discrete appliances throughout the data center and simplifying IT operations. The Pensando DSC additionally enables pervasive network visibility using its hardware bi-directional flow streaming and traffic mirroring capabilities.

Pensando for the Enterprise

The massive expansion in the number and diversity of applications, as well as an esplosione in the amount of data being generated and transported through enterprise data centers, has pushed the architectural limits of modern IT infrastructure to its breaking point.

Traditional “scale-up” approaches – where infrastructure services are embedded into top-of-rack switches, networking and security appliances – are no longer able to keep up, making performance, agility and scale limitations a fact of life for many businesses.
Pensando Systems was founded on the belief that there has to be a better way to address these complex issues. We have taken a ground-up approach to build a platform that gives enterprises the unique ability to drive cloud-like agility, security and operational simplicity across their entire infrastructure with unmatched scale and performance.

Pensando for Public Cloud Providers

As cloud infrastructure growth continues to accelerate, the performance, scalability and functionality demands on cloud providers will not cease.

A next-generation public cloud architecture with Pensando’s Distributed Services Card as the fondazione – the foundation will enable the reliability, flexibility and visibility needed to deliver next-generation cloud services. This, coupled with orders of magnitude improvement in scalability and performance, gives any cloud provider the ability to not just compete with, but beat, the leading hyperscale providers today.
