Zadara, the recognized leader in edge cloud services, today announced the launch of its Federated Edge program, designed to help MSPs win on a global scale.
Federated Edge is a consortium of MSPs, powered by Zadara’s Edge Cloud Services, including zCompute and zStorage. Federated Edge introduces a new, fully managed, distributed cloud architecture that unlocks new use cases and revenue models made possible by edge computing without requiring investments in hardware, technology or human capital.
Zadara’s Federated Edge program enables service providers to provision IT ‘as-a-Service’ business solutions to customers as close as necessary to those customers’ workloads, through a shared revenue model. Joining the Federated Edge is easy and requires zero up-front CapEx investment – Zadara provides all of the hardware and software required to get local edge clouds up and running. MSPs who join FE can immediately realize new revenue from third-party customers who deploy in their data centers while getting paid by Zadara for the usage through the FE model.
Zadara claims that its Edge Cloud will soon power the largest federation of service provider locations in the world.

Latency requirements, cost considerations, operational resiliency and security/compliance factors all contribute to the need to deploy infrastructure closer to where data is generated and consumed – at the edge of a networks’ reach, away from the centralized cloud.
Nelson Nahum, CEO, Zadara
We’ve built a network that creates an ideal opportunity for MSPs to move into the next generation of edge workloads and stop missing out on new global opportunities.
