- floatinglotus 4y agoOur solution targets the physical network in off-cloud, edge and distributed cloud use cases. The physical network is most likely the absolute root of trust and attestation. Physical devices gain their personalities from what network they are connected to. Physical networking is still the biggest impediment to operating on-prem infrastructure. You need to hire very expensive engineers, deal with a bizarre purchasing paradigm dictated by a few large companies (Cisco, Arista, Juniper, etc) and the management of these devices is pretty close to being from the Stone Age. So we’re looking to fix all of that with a pure open source play, using components that everyone is familiar with. The end goal is that a Devops person with basic network skills should be able to build their own physical network for modern cloud native applications, with very low levels of friction but similar cost efficiencies as cloud operators like AWS, Azure, GCP.
