Digital Realty, Vapor IO And Hivelocity Demonstrate Core-to-Edge Bare Metal In Atlanta

  • November 14, 2020
  • 4 minute read

Digital Realty (NYSE: DLR), a leading global provider of carrier- and cloud-neutral data center, colocation and interconnection solutions, along with Vapor IO, creators of the Kinetic Edge® platform, the first fully-integrated hardware and software platform for edge colocation, exchange and networking services, and Hivelocity, a leading provider of global bare metal cloud services, announced the availability for developers to deploy core-to-edge workloads on Hivelocity’s bare metal edge cloud, first in Atlanta, but soon in other cities nationwide.

The multi-tier edge deployment in Atlanta builds upon Digital Realty and Vapor IO’s announcement in June, highlighting the integration of Vapor IO’s Kinetic Edge architecture with Digital Realty’s Network Hub Solution on PlatformDIGITAL®.  Hivelocity, a Digital Realty customer, was able to quickly extend its bare metal cloud to Vapor IO’s Kinetic Edge locations due to integration work already completed by Vapor IO and Digital Realty.

“Leveraging the joint solution available through Vapor IO’s Kinetic Edge and Digital Realty’s PlatformDIGITAL, we were able to lower costs and get to market quicker,” said Steve Eschweiler, COO of Hivelocity.  “By using our existing control plane in Digital Realty’s facilities to orchestrate machines in Vapor IO’s data centers at the infrastructure edge, leveraging the integrated Digital Realty Service Exchange and Kinetic Edge Exchange networks for connectivity, we were able to quickly and cost-effectively extend our bare metal cloud to the infrastructure edge, where last-mile telco networks are aggregated.”

Separately, Hivelocity also announced it has selected Vapor IO’s Kinetic Edge platform nationwide and will bring its bare metal edge cloud to the 36 U.S. cities where Vapor IO is actively deploying.

The collaboration between Vapor IO and Digital Realty combines the cloud proximity, core, regional edge, local edge and interconnection capabilities of PlatformDIGITAL® with the last–mile, low-latency, distributed architecture of the Kinetic Edge network.  This combination offers companies like Hivelocity a seamless platform for delivering core-to-edge capabilities that are the basis for many emerging edge use cases.

“We designed this joint solution to combine the data center and networking infrastructure needed to enable cloud-to-core-to-edge applications,” said Cole Crawford, founder and CEO at Vapor IO. “Hivelocity’s ability to simply and effectively extend its bare metal cloud to the edge in Atlanta is a perfect example of how we’re making it easier for joint customers to deliver low-latency edge services that tie back to their regional and core workloads.”

For example, using Hivelocity’s bare metal cloud, a developer can deploy a multi-tier AI-based application, running low-latency inferencing in Vapor IO edge locations while training sophisticated AI models in Digital Realty’s regional edge and core facilities.

“The combination of Vapor’s Kinetic Edge and Digital Realty’s PlatformDIGITAL® is a crucial building-block for core-to-edge workloads, which we are actively supporting in Atlanta, Chicago and Dallas,” said Digital Realty Chief Technology Officer Chris Sharp. “Hivelocity’s ability to tap into this service and create a clear path to highly interconnected true core-to-edge infrastructure for their customers is precisely the simplicity we hope to provide.”
