One platform to run cloud and edge applications

Our platform is built to deliver the scale, speed and intelligence that cloud and edge applications require, making it easy to run, rev and respond faster.

Cloud

Seamless and scalable connections to public and private clouds enable application virtualisation, cloud hosting of IT services and data, more efficient capacity use and faster response.

Learn More

Edge

100+ edge market nodes help deliver 5ms or better latency to power near-real time response for latency sensitive, data intensive applications, 5G and other distributed compute demands.
