Notable Achievements in 2020: CloudOps (edge orchestration platform provider) developed a SaaS version of CloudMC to enable telcos to assemble, deliver and monetize their portfolio of edge-to-cloud services more easily; integrated leading edge SPs into CloudMC (including StackPath); worked with the Montreal Heart Institute (MHI) to use the CloudMC platform to deliver a private edge deployment, enabling them to securely and ethically process an array of clinical, administrative, research and genotyping data to improve the delivery of healthcare services; and finally, was named one of the Financial Times’ Fastest Growing Companies in America.

In 2021, CloudMC will be focused on the edge of the cloud industry. We expect to see more than a handful of service providers begin down the path of (re-)entering the cloud computing value chain through the evolving Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) and distributed computing landscape.

“Everyone wants hybrid multi-cloud” – This is what we heard from both the head of open source strategy for Google Cloud Platform and a principal program manager (in the office of the CTO) for Microsoft Azure, at the Linux Foundation’s Open Source Leadership Summit, as the overwhelmingly clear message they’re hearing from their many customers. That is to say, end users want to leverage multiple hyperscale public clouds, and regional edge computing resources, while continuing to leverage their on-prem infrastructure within their IT environments.
