HCI Edge Solutions for Retail and Multi-Location Stores
Customer experience has overtaken price and product as the key brand differentiator. New technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing help retailers support this demand with a more flexible, reliable, secure, scalable, and resilient in-store infrastructure.
Cultivate more seamless, personalized customer experiences and spend less time managing infrastructure. Combine virtualization, IoT, and edge computing with an adaptable infrastructure that streamlines retail IT operations at the storefront level, and provides major opportunities to enhance the consumer experience while also lowering costs. Run your existing business applications—such as point of sale, inventory management, video security, and your new IoT transformative applications—on a common platform.
Future-Ready Store Infrastructure
Right-Sized Appliances
SC//Platform offers a low-cost edge solution built on tiny form factors (NUC, etc.) making it ideal for deploying in small clusters where highly available computing was previously cost-prohibitive. These appliances also introduce HyperCore™ Edge, which eliminates the need for a backplane network switch, lowering the TCO and delivering simpler connectivity for edge networks.
Enable Intelligent and Transformative AI Applications
By enabling edge computing and IoT, SC//Platform allows retailers to stay competitive and outpace their competition. SC//Platform allows your traditional applications to run alongside new transformative technologies such as cashier-less checkout, AI customer identification, real-time pricing, inventory management, freezer and cooling systems, and electronic shelf labels.
Easier Management
We’re bringing machine intelligence to IT management. SC//HyperCore keeps applications up and running while detecting and correcting infrastructure problems automatically. This unifying technology allows you to simplify management while reducing significant costs in all environments.
