ZEDEDA Accelerates Enterprise Edge AI with Enhanced NVIDIA Integrations

Simplified deployment, intelligent management and zero-trust security deliver unparalleled edge AI orchestration across distributed environments

ZEDEDA, the leader in edge management and orchestration, today unveiled expanded support for NVIDIA's edge AI platform, introducing enhanced integration with NVIDIA Jetson systems, NGC catalog and the TAO toolkit.

This comprehensive integration provides enterprises with a complete workflow for deploying, securing and managing AI models at the edge, enabling faster innovation while ensuring operational reliability. The NGC catalog serves as NVIDIA's repository for GPU-optimized AI models, while the TAO toolkit enables the adaptation of AI models for edge environments. ZEDEDA now seamlessly enables users to pull models from the NGC catalog, optimize those models via the TAO toolkit, and deploy and manage these via ZEDEDA’s secure edge computing platform.

As AI becomes a critical workload at the edge, organizations face unique challenges in deploying and managing models across distributed environments with resource constraints, heterogeneous hardware and intermittent connectivity. According to Gartner, by 2029, at least 60% of edge computing deployments will use composite AI (both predictive and generative AI), compared to less than 5% in 2023. While traditional cloud-based tools struggle to support the unique needs of devices at the edge, ZEDEDA’s edge-first platform and NVIDIA integration address these challenges by providing a unified platform for edge AI orchestration that scales from proof-of-concept to large production deployments.

Expanding Edge AI Innovation

ZEDEDA’s enhanced platform enables organizations to accelerate their edge AI initiatives while maintaining enterprise-grade security and manageability.

Key innovations include:

• NVIDIA NGC Catalog Integration: Direct CLI integration enables seamless deployment of AI models from NGC Catalog to edge nodes, dramatically simplifying the model deployment workflow
• TAO Toolkit Optimization: Native support for NVIDIA’s TAO toolkit allows enterprises to optimize models specifically for edge deployment on Jetson systems, improving performance and efficiency
• Zero-Touch Edge Management: Automated deployment and management capabilities scale to tens of thousands of nodes, enabling rapid AI innovation without increasing operational overhead
• Advanced Observability: Built-in Grafana and Prometheus integration with extensible APIs provides comprehensive visibility into AI model performance and health at the edge
• Native Support for NVIDIA Jetson GPUs: ZEDEDA's EVE OS provides native support for NVIDIA Jetson GPUs, including Orin NX and AGX, enabling seamless AI deployment. By utilizing ZEDEDA Marketplace models optimized with TensorRT and leveraging EVE OS for GPU acceleration, edge AI performance is significantly enhanced.

“Edge AI deployments present unique challenges that can’t be solved with traditional cloud-native tools alone,” said Said Ouissal, ZEDEDA’s CEO and founder. “By expanding our integration with NVIDIA’s AI platform, we’re enabling enterprises to innovate faster with simplified AI deployment workflows, reduce risk through zero-touch management and security, and lower costs by automating manual processes at the edge. Our edge-first approach abstracts away the infrastructural complexity, allowing organizations to focus on driving transformation through innovation.”

Transforming Industries with Edge AI

ZEDEDA is already enabling digital transformation across multiple sectors:

• Manufacturing: Predictive maintenance, quality control and safety detection
• Energy: Predictive maintenance, safety detection and flare detection
• Retail: Store intelligence and shrinkage reduction
• Transportation: Predictive maintenance, physical security and safety monitoring
• Robotics: Safety detection, quality control and humanoid-robot training

Accelerating the Future of Edge AI

As part of its ongoing commitment to edge innovation, ZEDEDA continues to expand its ecosystem and capabilities for edge AI deployment. The platform’s open architecture and growing marketplace of commercial, open source and private workloads provide organizations with unmatched flexibility to deploy and manage any edge AI workload while maintaining consistent security and orchestration. This expanding ecosystem, which includes partnerships with industry leaders in edge AI development and deployment, enables enterprises to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure complexity.

“The intelligent edge requires solutions that can meet the real-time requirements of safety-critical environments,” said Avijit Sinha, Sr. Vice President, Strategy and Global Business Development, Wind River, the global leader in delivering software for the intelligent edge with its comprehensive portfolio. “Our work with ZEDEDA combines Wind River’s expertise in mission-critical edge computing with ZEDEDA’s streamlined orchestration capabilities. This collaboration is particularly valuable for industries deploying AI in environments where reliability and security are non-negotiable.”

“Operational efficiency is essential for our customers. Computer vision at the edge helps to enhance quality and safety at remote sites by being able to provide rapid intervention without human oversight when an anomaly is detected," said Josh Perkins, AHEAD VP, Emerging Technologies. “Partnering with ZEDEDA allows us to navigate the complexities of maintaining remote vision-based AI applications, delivering streamlined workflows that simplify implementation and management while expanding hardware options for our customers.”

Edge computing leaders looking to accelerate AI innovation, simplify edge orchestration and ensure enterprise-grade security can learn more about these enhancements in ZEDEDA’s latest blog post.

ZEDEDA will showcase these capabilities at a panel discussion during NVIDIA GTC on March 18, from 6-9 pm PT, with the panel beginning at 7 pm PT. Learn more and register.
