“With a history of providing mission-critical edge compute services to large enterprises worldwide, we believe the market already recognizes the benefits of edge compute, and now it is time to give developers the right tools for them to build modern applications at the edge,” said Rafael Umann, CEO, Azion. “This accolade validates our position in the market and our efforts to provide a general purpose platform – similar to what AWS did for the cloud – while motivating us to find new ways to help customers transition to, and thrive on, the edge.”
Developers with any level of experience can move critical workloads to Azion’s Edge Platform. Azion received an exceptional rating for its ready-to-use network infrastructure, its ability to create new Points of Presence (POPs) as needed and its functionality that enables customers to deploy applications on their own edge nodes – either remote-devices, on premises or multi-cloud.
In line with this recognition, Azion is continually evolving its services to stay ahead of the latest trends and risks. The company has recently introduced solutions to boost application security through the Marketplace, augmenting the company’s strong programmable security, and is launching a series of application development services such as Edge SQL and Edge KV. Azion also recently obtained PCI DSS 4.0 certification, a major global security benchmark showing the measures Azion takes to keep customer data safe.
