Edge Cloud: the Future of Cloud

Edge Cloud: invented by ViFiB in 2009

Space Edge Cloud

SlapOS Edge Cloud Benefits for Space

  • Resilient (unlike centralised clouds)
  • Universal (same API for servers, drones, satellites, ground stations)
  • Secure (not under NSA control)
  • Durable (fully open source)
  • Autonomous (runs without network access)
  • Proven (used by part of Airbus TSXX mission)
  • Global (works in China)
  • SDR ready (baremetal access)
  • 5 to 10 times cheaper than AWS, Google Cloud, etc.
