The company stated that real-time data processing, intelligent decision-making, and low-latency applications are crucial in an era of hyperconnectivity and the rising adoption of technologies such as 5G and IoT. Tata Communications CloudLyte leads edge computing, serving global enterprises with its versatile, cloud, and infrastructure-agnostic architecture.

Utilising its innovative ‘solution in a box’ method, Tata Communications CloudLyte delivers a unified package to enterprises, which includes platforms, infrastructure, networks, managed services, and specific use cases. This approach ensures rapid deployment and seamless scalability, future-proofing investments.

The platform offers real-time inferencing and auto-scaling, which easily extends cloud capabilities to the edge, bringing in the cloud’s agility and flexibility. Tata Communications CloudLyte also manages edge resources centrally for a seamless experience and has built-in security with features like zero-trust architecture and layered defences, simplifying enterprise operations, maximising efficiency, and driving business growth.

Commenting on the new platform launch, the Vice President and Global Head – Cloud and Edge Business at Tata Communications, Neelakantan Venkataraman, said, “In a hyperconnected world, businesses increasingly rely on resilient, performant, and secure edge computing capabilities. These are essential for managing the immense volumes of raw data generated and

processing them swiftly and efficiently to enable rapid decision-making and foster accelerated business transformation.”

He further added, “By bringing the cloud experience to edge, Tata Communications CloudLyte allows global enterprises to harness the full potential of cloud through a well-integrated cloud fabric. With Tata Communications CloudLyte — we’re not just building the future — we’re redefining it. From AI-driven predictive maintenance to retail analytics, the potential is limitless.”

The Senior Principal Analyst of Omdia, Kerem Arsal, said, “Tata Communications CloudLyte fills a significant gap in the edge market with its infrastructure- and cloud-agnostic approach to computing, and its ability to support a wide range of access networks for connectivity, such as SD-WAN, Private 5G, and Wi-Fi. Cutting across IT and OT silos, it effectively unifies the management, provisioning, and orchestration of resources and applications in multi-cloud environments. Yet, it is also modular to give customers the flexibility to craft their own solutions depending on their existing settings and desired outcomes. As an elegant and holistic platform that fuses connectivity and computing, Tata Communications CloudLyte significantly reduces the complexity of edge deployments for many innovative use cases.”
