Edgible empowers you to run an application on a device you control. And for those applications to be safely accessible to users via the Internet just as they would if hosted with a large Cloud Service Provider. The device could be anywhere such as a desktop in your Home Office or some edge based computing hardware. For example, a small business or startup might choose to keep costs down by self hosting its marketing website on some spare computer. Alternatively, a key piece of plant equipment in a factory might require an edge deployed application to conduct predictive maintenance. This makes Edgible relevant in the world of edge computing as it enables remote management of on-premise, edge or locally deployed applications. Edgible presents itself as an application centric platform to the User as they need only concern themselves with what application should be launched and where to place it. Behind the scence, Edgible packages these applications into Containers which run inside a Virtual Private Server on the targeted deployment device.
| Acronym | Description | Edgible |
| VPS | A virtual private server(VPS) is a machine that hosts all the software and data required to run an application or website. It is called virtual because it only consumes a portion of the server’s underlying physical resources which are managed by a third-party provider. However, you get access to your dedicated resources on that hardware. | Edgible consumes device host resources via deploying a VPS to any device the User has elected to make available to Edgible for hosting. |
| CaaS | Containers as a service (CaaS) is a cloud service that allows software developers and IT departments to upload, organize, run, scale, manage and stop containers by using container-based virtualization. | Applications in Edgible are deployed as containers. |
| PaaS | Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a type of cloud computing service model that offers a flexible, scalable cloud platform to develop, deploy, run, and manage applications. | The User’s experience of Edgible is application centric. Inside Edgible, the applications are deployed as containers which run inside a VPS. |
| Edge | Edge computing (Edge) is a distributed computing paradigm that brings computation and data storage closer to the sources of data. This is expected to improve response times and save bandwidth. | Edgible enables applications to run on any device the User controls including devices co-located with private on-premise data sources. |
