> ZEDEDA delivers a distributed edge computing platform that unifies infrastructure, AI inference, and orchestration to run edge workloads at scale.

ZEDEDA is a global edge computing company that provides an open, secure platform to deploy, manage, and scale distributed edge infrastructure and workloads. The platform unifies edge infrastructure, inference, and autonomous agents to enable enterprises to run edge intelligence with cloud-like agility, visibility, and control across industries and hardware environments, while reducing complexity, risk, and total cost of ownership.

**Mission:** To simplify the edge by eliminating the complexity of operating, securing, and scaling intelligence at the distributed edge.

## Market Segments

- **Edge orchestration and management**: Centralized orchestration, lifecycle management, and provisioning of distributed edge infrastructure and applications with zero-touch operations and fleet-scale visibility.
- **Edge AI inference and model operations**: Deploy, run, monitor, and update AI models and computer vision workloads at the edge with real-time inference, model governance, and hardware-agnostic deployment.
- **Industrial IoT analytics and predictive maintenance**: Collect and analyze industrial telemetry at the edge for real-time operational insights, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance to reduce downtime and maintenance costs.
- **Secure remote access and air-gapped operations**: Secure, zero-trust remote access, local orchestration, and synchronization for intermittently connected or air-gapped environments with device attestation and encrypted communications.
