New partnership deploys secure edge computing for military and national security
Armada, an edge computing infrastructure company, Second Front, and Microsoft successfully deployed Second Front’s Frontier platform on Microsoft Azure Local within an Armada Galleon modular data center.
This collaboration enables secure, mission-critical applications to operate in austere environments, supporting military operations with real-time data access. Armada’s Galleons provide rugged, mobile, and modular edge computing solutions for real-time decision-making in disconnected environments.
Second Front’s Frontier platform extends DevSecOps processes to the edge, allowing compliant application development, testing, and deployment with optimized latency and security.
Microsoft Azure Local supports hybrid cloud capabilities, delivering secure, low-latency tools for national security and tactical edge operations.
“Armada is proud to partner with Second Front and Microsoft to make secure computing at the edge a reality in the world’s most contested environments,” says Pradeep Nair, Founding Chief Technology Officer. “Through this partnership, we are providing new connectivity and communications capabilities that have not existed before, ensuring that warfighters have real-time access to the data and information they need to make decisions and support the mission.”
The partnership aims to enhance global security by accelerating access to emerging technologies in nontraditional environments and highlights advancements in edge computing for defense and other critical sectors, ensuring operational continuity in challenging conditions.
