Following our acceptance into the Red Hat Partner Program in January, Expanso Edge is now certified and available in the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog, bringing our edge-native data processing platform directly into the OpenShift ecosystem.
The Challenge
Traditional data processing moves everything to the cloud, generating massive bandwidth costs and latency issues. A telecom provider processing 1TB monthly through cloud analytics can spend $750+ in ingestion and compute fees. Multiply that across thousands of edge sites, and costs explode while critical alerts arrive minutes too late.
The Solution
Expanso Edge flips the model: instead of moving data to processing, we move processing to data. Our certified container platform runs directly on OpenShift clusters at edge locations: Single Node OpenShift deployments, regional clusters, or hybrid environments.
Real impact: One Expanso pipeline replaces multiple collection agents with a single lightweight one. The same 1TB becomes a structured report (99.9% reduction in data egress). Result: $750 monthly costs drop to $75-150 with sub-second alerting.
