Imagine you run a cloud service, but your users complain about lag — the data has to travel too far. ONEedge is like renting a mini data center right next to your customers, on demand, without buying any hardware yourself. It automatically finds and leases computing resources close to where they're needed, so apps like online gaming, IoT sensors, and video streaming respond almost instantly. Think of it as Airbnb for computing power at the network edge — you only pay for what you use, and it's all managed by open-source software.
Companies building next-generation services in gaming, IoT, and telecom need ultra-low latency but existing edge platforms require extremely heavy, expensive, and complex deployments. There is no viable, cost-effective platform on which low-latency applications can become mainstream. Businesses are forced to choose between building expensive infrastructure or accepting poor user experience.
ONEedge built an automated software-defined platform that lets companies create private edge computing environments from resources leased on demand near end users. Three innovation and validation demonstrations confirmed the system works in real operational environments, and the product was brought to industrial readiness for market introduction.
If you are a telecom operator struggling to deploy edge computing across your network — ONEedge developed an automated platform that provisions edge resources on demand in close proximity to users. Instead of building and maintaining costly edge data centers, you lease capacity as needed. The system was demonstrated in operational environments and targets a market estimated at $2.0 billion.
If you are an IoT company dealing with latency from centralized cloud processing — ONEedge built a software-defined edge platform that places computing right next to your sensors and devices. It automates deployment across distributed locations without heavy infrastructure investment. Three separate demonstration cases validated the system in real operational settings.
If you are a gaming or streaming company where milliseconds of delay cost you users — ONEedge created an on-demand edge computing platform that lets you spin up processing power close to players and viewers. Built entirely on open-source software with a subscription model, it eliminates vendor lock-in while cutting latency. The coordinator company behind it has shown 23% compound annual growth over 4 years.
ONEedge uses a business model fully based on open-source software and support subscriptions, meaning no upfront licensing fees. You pay for support and managed services rather than software licenses. Based on available project data, specific pricing tiers are not disclosed, but the open-source foundation means you can evaluate the technology before committing.
Yes. The platform was designed specifically for industrial-scale edge computing and was validated in three separate operational environment demonstrations. The coordinator, OpenNebula Systems, has seasoned experience bringing open-source enterprise products to market and projected €22 million cumulative turnover in 3 years post-commercialization.
The product is fully based on open-source software, which eliminates vendor lock-in. OpenNebula has a proven track record as an open-source company. Revenue comes from support subscriptions, not software licensing, so you retain full control over your deployment.
Three separate innovation and validation demonstrations confirmed the system works in operational environments. A prototyped version was publicly available before the project even started, and existing customers had expressed interest. The SME Instrument Phase 2 funding was specifically aimed at bringing ONEedge to industrial readiness for market introduction.
ONEedge is built by OpenNebula Systems, the company behind the widely used OpenNebula cloud management platform. The edge platform extends existing cloud capabilities to distributed edge locations using a software-defined approach. Based on available project data, this means integration with existing cloud environments is a core design principle.
OpenNebula Systems is a Spanish SME with 23% compound annual growth rate over 4 years and seasoned experience in developing and commercializing open-source enterprise products. They projected creating 69 new jobs in 3 years post-commercialization, indicating serious scaling plans for enterprise-grade support.
This is a single-company project — OpenNebula Systems SL from Spain, funded under the SME Instrument Phase 2, which is reserved for high-potential SMEs ready to scale. With 100% industry composition and no academic partners, this was purely a commercialization effort, not a research exercise. The company already had a proven product (OpenNebula cloud platform), a growing customer base with 23% annual growth, and used this funding specifically to bring their edge computing extension to market. For a business buyer, this means you're dealing with an established software company, not a university lab — they understand enterprise needs, support contracts, and commercial delivery.
