# Edge Computing

Edge compute will completely dwarf public cloud deployments - for every business. Only unikernel platforms are poised to take advantage of edge deployments where Linux and container initiatives fall short in security, performance and manageability.

### Edge Computing

Nanos deploys not only to X86 hardware but also ARM64. We have explicit support for devices like the Raspberry Pi 4.

If you are deploying 5G Core networks you should talk to us. We can offer security and performance solutions that blow container and traditional VM based solutions out of the water in terms of performance and security.

#### Security

- Ensure your edge devices don't allow attackers to login.
- Stop the #1 most dangerous forms of remote code execution attacks that plague existing IoT solutions.

#### Small Form Factor

- Package only what is necessary - no need for a full blown linux.
- Deploy only your application and nothing else.

#### Performance

- Boot your applications fast and run them fast.
- Focus on the business logic not all the legacy operating system needs.

### Ready for the future cloud?

Security does not have to be the nightmare it is. You've got better things to do than dealing with VM sprawl. Show everyone how you were responsible for halving the infrastructure budget. Be the winner!
