Purpose built for the

Retail Edge

Zynstra’s Intelligent Infrastructure is the only solution designed and built for the retail edge. Unlike repurposed datacenter and limited, cloud-only solutions, it is optimized for the resource-constrained, rugged edge environment. Efficient and powerful, it scales with ease and enables retailers to roll out thousands of standardized sites without IT bottlenecks.

Edge-scale Versus Datacenter-scale

Zynstra’s purpose built edge scale technology is a game changer compared with scaled down datacenter technology. It’s optimized for large scale deployment of edge sites, not one-off datacenter implementations – and backed by the only player in the industry with deep domain knowledge of operating at the edge.

“

We have renewed our contract with Zynstra, and extended the sites using it to include Vietnam, France and Germany, because Zynstra provides the powerful, reliable IT we require in our remote sites, where we don’t have the benefit of extensive local IT support. Zynstra’s automation ensures our IT just keeps on working and is kept up to date.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Retail Edge?

In general terms, the edge refers to all compute activity that takes place outside the datacenter. In a retail context, these workloads typically take place in stores, branches, Quick Service Restaurants, or other retail outlets.

Why is Retail Edge so important?

With ever increasing demand to roll out new customer experiences, while reducing costs and fighting off security threats the battleground has moved to the edge.

How does your solution enable me to roll out new sites?

Our Intelligent Automation enables you to build and test centrally, and then automatically deploy across the network of stores in one coordinated action.

What is an edge server?

A virtualized and hyperconverged server that sits outside the datacenter, in a store or branch, providing compute, storage and network capability optimized for a hostile edge environment.

What is edge-scale?

Edge scale means designed from the ground up for the environment that exists at the edge, rather than scaled down datacenter technology.

What is Continuous Intelligent Automation?

The capability to centrally manage the provisioning, patching and configuration of 100s or 1000s of retail edges, without costly manual intervention at the edge.
