Now more than ever, we have grown to understand the importance of adapting quickly to market conditions, changes, and trends. The rise of the intelligent edge is making that easier, delivering solutions that move data collection and processing closer to where it’s needed the most — users.

The vendors highlighted on this year’s Edge Computing 100 list encompass the dedication and commitment to constantly improving the technology to provide utmost security and precision technology to the channel.

Having an intelligent edge wrapped in security tools and channel services is key to a successful edge deployment, and SonicWall’s cloud-native management and analytics transform threat data into defensive actions to mitigate hidden risks across networks, applications, and users. Its virtual offerings and cloud services are paired with on-premises deployments to solve security issues for SMBs, enterprises and governments.

“CRN’s 2022 Edge Computing 100 list is an exciting opportunity for CRN to recognize innovative vendors that are delivering the technology enterprises need to build unique, intelligent edge solutions,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “These contributors empower channel partners to work smarter and extract the most value from their data. We want to celebrate their impact on the IT channel and the incredible progress we are able to make because of them. Congratulations to all those recognized on this year’s list!”

The categories recognized in this list include Edge Hardware, Software and Services; IoT and 5G Edge Services; and Security.

Companies named to the Edge Computing 100 list are judged on a number of criteria, including the company’s impact on the market, its overall influence on the channel, and the types of technologies and services it makes available to partners to help them build state-of-the-art edge solutions.
