Red Hat Wants to Bloom with Kaloom
This week, open source solution company Red Hat announced a new partnership with cloud-native networking company Kaloom to provide a new distributed edge computing solution. The companies will integrate Kaloom’s Cloud Edge Fabric with Red Hat OpenShift to allow network, computing, and storage nodes to share a container-based execution environment and simplify next-generation networks.
Red Hat has significant IP in the edge computing space, and recent patents and patent applications continue to support the development of a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) system. Montreal-based Kaloom, founded in 2014, has no published IP in the edge computing sector.
This partnership seeks to address service providers’ problems with bandwidth and latency as well as supporting new edge-native applications. Kaloom’s Cloud Edge Fabric supports services chaining in order to produce networking efficiency, and can support hybrid 4G and 5G infrastructures. Red Hat Openshift is used to enable better control and better support for Kubernetes environments.
