Problem
The increasing volume of data generated outside traditional data centers, coupled with growing data regulations and security demands, makes it challenging and costly for organizations to manage and process data effectively. Moving data to centralized locations for processing introduces latency, increases costs, and raises concerns about data sovereignty and governance.
Solution
Expanso offers Bacalhau, an open-source, distributed computing platform that enables computational tasks to be executed directly at the data source, whether in the cloud, on-premise, or at the edge. This approach minimizes data movement, reduces latency, enhances data security, and improves compliance with data governance regulations. Bacalhau provides a unified user experience across diverse compute environments, allowing users to seamlessly orchestrate and execute computations from local development machines to decentralized networks. By bringing compute to the data, Expanso optimizes existing resources, delivers cost-effective solutions, and empowers organizations to gain real-time insights while maintaining full control over their data.
Target Audience
Expanso targets organizations dealing with large volumes of data generated in distributed environments, including those in energy, automotive, financial services, public sector, manufacturing, healthcare, and retail industries.
