VMblog Expert Interview, Julian Chesterfield of Sunlight. #HCI from the #Cloud to the #Edge

In this episode of the VMblog Expert Video Interview Series, we spoke with Julian Chesterfield of Sunlight, a developer of virtualization technology for data-intensive applications.

Quick background. Sunlight makes performance possible anywhere - from the cloud to the edge. Sunlight’s HCI stack makes applications like AI, Big Data, Analytics and Rendering run 3x faster compared to legacy virtualization, and because Sunlight has a tiny footprint - it’s perfect for the edge.

Watch this video interview to learn more as Chesterfield kicks things off with a great explanation on Sunlight and their technology, and then provides a deeper dive into HCI and how hyperconvergence is different from the data center to the edge. Hear how Sunlight differs from and is unique when compared to VMware or Nutanix, especially when it comes to HCI at the edge. If you haven't been exposed to Sunlight Nexvisor yet, this is a great place to start.
