Booz Allen EdgeXtend™

Modern application architectures, which use microservices for scalability and resilience to traffic surges, require a cloud-native Kubernetes platform for deployment. EdgeXtend provides Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG)-hardened Kubernetes optimized for small-form factors at the edge to efficiently host modern application architectures. It is also compatible with the same infrastructure-as-code automation and DevOps tools your team is used to in the cloud. 

STIG-hardened, with compliance scanning, log aggregation, authentication, and log analysis in disconnected environments to mitigate cyber risks. Zero trust principles are applied to users and non-person entities, data, and network activity to defend against cyber threats and accelerate the timeline to achieve an ATO. 

Seamlessly combine multiple wireless WAN links, including 5G, satellite, and radios to maximize the ability to access data hosted at the enterprise and other edge nodes when one or more communications paths are denied or degraded. 

Applications need to continue operating on local edge nodes for an indefinite period of time when communications are unavailable. EdgeXtend includes essential DevOps capabilities embedded locally in the platform to ensure applications can still deploy and operate while disconnected from the internet and enterprise-based services.

Booz Allen provides hardware, cloud, operating systems, virtualization, and DevOps tools support. We serve as a single point of contact for end-to-end support from strategy, requirements, testing, security, and ongoing maintenance. We have pre-configured and selected edge components that accelerate mission value and eliminate operational complexity.
